While his past is lauded at one club and perhaps loathed at another, he has an impact on the present.
When Schubert left the NRL, Roosters supremo Nick Politis employed him as the club’s salary cap compliance officer. It sent a message to the NRL and all those who nickname the Roosters “the Sombreros”, due to the perception the cap fits much more under it at the Roosters than other clubs. Yet, when there was no major case of self-reporting a breach by Schubert, others simply argued he was suffering Stockholm Syndrome.
The NRL insist both Melbourne and the Roosters simply manage the salary cap better than other clubs. Still, should the Storm release centre Will Chambers a year early in order to comply with the 2020 cap, they will replace him with a youngster. The Roosters tend to buy internationals, like Cooper Cronk and James Tedesco, leading some to argue that Politis reloads, while the Storm rebuilds.
Politis certainly sent another “up yours” message at last year’s grand final, insisting Schubert present the medallions to the winning Roosters. As a former great of the Bondi Junction club, Schubert was entitled to be given the honour, but the Storm perceived it as a deliberate reminder of their brutal punishment.
