Josh Schuster has signed a monster deal tying him to Manly until the end of the 2027 season, with the club doubling down on a new vision for the future after luring Luke Brooks to the northern beaches.
The Sea Eagles on Monday afternoon announced the maligned Wests Tigers halfback would be joining the club next season on a four-year deal and now the club has shown faith in Schuster despite clear question marks about his future.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the 22-year-old's three-year extension is worth $2.4 million, meaning the young gun is poised to earn about $3.2 million over the next four seasons at Manly.

With Brooks to take over at five-eighth next season, it appears that Schuster has accepted a change in role, with the polarising playmaker to be shifted back to the forwards, more than likely the left edge he occupied with mixed success when Kieran Foran was partnering Daly Cherry-Evans in the halves in 2021 and 2022.
