Another day, another rugby league story breaks and sends social media into chaos.

Manly's supposed $800,000 man, Josh Schuster, is set to go on the move after being told by the Sea Eagles that he can explore other opportunities.

Much has been made about the size of his contract, and believe me, it will come up in the below, and I believe this has had a hugely negative bearing on his performances since.

Let's remember, prior to heading to the comments section, that this is a 22-year-old kid with 50 NRL games to his name. The contract was Manly's error, not Schuster's.

We're talking about a former NSW Under 18 captain in a side that also includes Bradman Best, Will Penisini,ย and Sione Fainu.

With that said, below are five potential landing spots for the talented second rower turn five-eighth:

2. The Dolphins

The Dolphins are flying right now but should have one eye firmly focused on the future of the club.

In their forwards, they have Mark Nicholls (34), the retiring Jesse Bromwich, Kenny Bromwich (32), Felise Kaufusi (31) and Jarrod Wallace (31).

Connelly Lemuelu and Euan Aitken are both younger options in the back row, while Tom Gilbert looks to have a magnificent career ahead of him.

I don't think it's unfair to suggest an influx of youth probably isn't too far off.

Manly, more than likely, is going to have to eat part of the Schuster contract, at least early on. This makes the Dolphins a player.

They need to continue to make clever signings if they want to continue their momentum. Schuster has much to prove and the Dolphins would allow him quite the opportunity.

I'm not a fan of Schuster in the halves but he does add that flexibility if an injury does occur. The Dolphins depth in this position is not great.

With Wayne Bennett moving on at the end of the season (although you never really know with Bennett), this will depend on Kristian Woolf's assessment.

I absolutely wouldn't rule it out, especially with the Sea Eagles likely to chip in to cover freight.
