Josh Schuster<\/a> has shut down any idea of a coffee meeting with Manly Sea Eagles<\/a> coach Anthony Seibold<\/a>, as it is unlikely\u00a0to lead to a contract.<\/p>\n

The former Manly Sea Eagles<\/a> and South Sydney Rabbitohs<\/a> forward was spotted having coffee with the Manly mentor on Sunday morning, with the image obtained by journalist Michael Chammas.<\/p>\n

In his post on social media, Chammas confirmed Seibold and Schuster remain close friends.<\/p>\n

Zero Tackle have since learned that there was nothing to the coffee, with Schuster telling us it was simply him and Seibold catching up.<\/p>\n

Schuster, now 24, played under Seibold at Manly in the final years of his stint at the club, and it’s understood the pair have remained close friends.<\/p>\n

Once one of the game’s most talented youngsters, Schuster played 50 games for Manly in the second row and then at five-eighth, having captained the New South Wales under-18 team when he was progressing through pathways.<\/p>\n

The Sydney-born player left Manly at the end of 2024, and eventually signed with the South Sydney Rabbitohs<\/a>, but an ill-fated one-year stint didn’t see him make it onto the field in first-grade.<\/p>\n

It’s understood Schuster still wants to pursue a career in rugby league, but is working through mental health issues at the present time.<\/p>\n

The forward and five-eighth, who has also played one Test for Samoa<\/a>, is not currently contracted for 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Schuster has shut down any idea of a coffee meeting with Manly Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":{"0":"post-205077","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-new-zealand","9":"tag-newzealand","10":"tag-nz","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
