In order for the move to happen,the Rabbitohs will need to free up salary cap space. Several players coming off contract - including Michael Chee Kam,Taane Milne,Tom Burgess - will be leaving at season’s end,although the contracted Lachlan Ilias may also need to shift in order for a Schuster offer to transpire.

Schuster has shown glimpses of his potential,although injuries and off-field issues have restricted him to just 50 first-grade appearances.In an interview with this masthead in May,Schuster said he was in a good headspace after dealing with off-field issues and a luckless run with injury.

“I’ve got it off my chest now,so I’m a lot better mentally,” Schuster said at the time.

“I’m a lot happier,mentally I’m in a better headspace. When I’m at my fittest and happiest,that’s when I start playing my best footy. If anything,I can’t wait to be back and prove to myself I can do it.”

Schuster has previously stated his intention to become the best player in the game,but was more circumspect in his last interview.

“I want to earn my teammates’ respect,putting my head down and working hard,” he said.

“That’s as simple as it gets. No Origin,nothing like that. I just want to earn my teammates’ trust and respect.”
