Ian grew up in
When Schubert returned to Easts after having gained some weight, changed as a player to be a ball-playing forward. Despite injuries preventing him playing in a second grand final, was chosen for his second Kangaroo tour in 1982. He performances on tour saw him not re-signed by Easts and signed with the big-spending Manly club for 1983, playing a significant part in a rather successful season. Schubert was also Player of the Series in the 1983 KB Cup, but the following year he declined to yet again lose his first grade berth.
Ian Schubert returned to Western Suburbs – who in the previous two years were fortunate to remain in the NSWRL competition after losing several players. In the period 1986 to 1988, Schubert's helped Western Suburbs and their young team to move the club off the bottom in the early 1990s. He was their leading point-scorer for the three years from 1986 to 1988 – being the club's regular goal-kicker. In his fifth-last appearance in first grade, Schubert kicked a field goal for the first time in his fourteen-year career. Schubert was later named as a second-rower and as vice-captain in the Western Suburbs Team of the Eighties.[4]
In the 1986 Australian off-season, he travelled to England and made 21 appearances for

Even before he retired as a player in 1989, Schubert had been coaching Western Suburbs' reserve grade side. He showed his talent as a lower grade coach with Canterbury-Bankstown in the early 1990s but with the Super League split and Chris Anderson's tight grip could never get to coach first grade. In recent years Schubert has been back in the headlines in his new role as auditor for the National Rugby League's salary cap and a number of unsavoury comments concerning breaches of the regulations.
On 22 April 2010, it was brought to his attention that the Melbourne Storm had been cheating the salary cap system for over five years, thus making headlines not only in New South Wales and Queensland but also the rest of the country and even overseas.
