Assistant Coach after Flanno

[Ron E. Gibbs]

This is in the Telegraph today, from Booze Rothfield:

SPOTTED

A photograph made its way onto social media on Friday of Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo having lunch with Manly’s assistant coach Jim Dymock. There was immediate speculation they were talking about a job on the coaching staff at Belmore. Not so. Dymock is under contract for another two years at Manly and is staying on the northern beaches.

The cannoli's must be that good then.

David Furner will be signed by the end of the week for the role.
Tigers have sacked him so our club will be sniffing around with our Tigers love affair.

Had a chance to speak to Flanno last week after a corporate event. To say I was completely underwhelmed, would be a massive over statement. Like getting blood out of a stone to get him to talk about Manly. His big insight into my question about what Manly need to do to improve in 2024, "You need to get Tommy on to the field".... well, no sh*t, Sherlock

Interestingly, Furner worked as assistant to Seibs at Souths during 2018 season if I'm not mistaken

What did you expect him to say? Giving his honest and free evaluation of what is now his competitor?

I would have expected a bit more than what and how he said it

If you took the Eagles and Tigers trading out of the equation. Furner would actually seem like a reasonable choice.

 

[mickqld]

Well Flanno's effect on the team was underwhelming so I don't see any negative on him going. He basically checked out before we got to origin. If Seibold can't get to the finals with this lot - Turbo. Garrick, Koula, Brooks, DCE , Jake, Olakau'atu, Schuster, Paseka then it'll be bye bye and go back to finding a Manly DNA coach.

 

[Bubbler]

Bring back Des (again)

 

[The Who]

Bring back Des (again)

Bring back Tooves!

Geez...Furner's been a bit of journey man hasn't he, been an assistant at many clubs now.

And was the Tigers defence coach

And was the Tigers defence coach

That went well - we are going to need to score 40 points a week to win

The article

Fox Sports commentator Michael Ennis is to join the Manly Sea Eagles coaching staff next season.

He will replace his great friend and 2016 Cronulla Sharks premiership winning coach Shane Flanagan on Anthony Seibold’s coaching staff.

Ennis has previously coached at the Parramatta Eels, the Canberra Raiders and in pathways at the Cronulla Sharks.

His job at Manly next year will be to specifically work on the spine with Daly Cherry-Evans, new signing Luke Brooks, Tom Trbojevic and hooker Lachlan Croker.

It will be a huge role with so much anticipation around Brooks’ arrival on the northern beaches.

Ennis is highly regarded and often spoken about as a future NRL head coach.

However he needs more experience in a role like the new job at Manly before taking the next step.

Seibold is understood to have consulted his leadership group before making the appointment.

They were all supportive of the decision.

Permanent damage: Medical experts’ dire Luai warning
Ennis will continue in his role on the Fox Sports commentary team.

Flanagan was able to juggle his work at Manly last season with a similar role at Fox Sports.

Eventually Ennis will have to make a decision between TV and a head coaching role.

 

[Nordburg]

Well at the very least,Manly will have someone on Fox talking them up

 

[MissKate]

I absolutely loathe ennis

 

[Bomb Voyage]
