Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

[Mark from Brisbane]

Early in the season, but got to hand it to him so far.

The offseason recruitment under a stretched salary cap couldn't have been any better.

Pinching a class 5/8, picking up Brown off the scrap heap and the building of depth has been impressive.

Agree , he’s a smart coach , ticking all the boxes this year.

The year is much longer than 2 weeks feathered friend

Did really well to get them to come out like they did in the second 40, ambushed the Rorters with that intensity.

A couple of big decisions team wise, got to hand it to him for the way the team are performing, the addition of the new fitness coach looks to me a quality decision.

 

[SeaEagleSI1]

A special mention needs to go to Jon Clarke, we seem to be stronger and fitter (I know it’s round 2)
I have like when he speaks on the Manlys Way

 

[JBW]

After watching The Manly Way and how they ran the pre season, I was impressed by the staff. Hopefully the on field performance continues.

I'm not even going to comment. Well I'll save my comments for Rd 22. Not Rd 2. But the coaching team are off to a good start. That's an achievement.

We need belief and confidence to build.

Not over confidence. Round 3 against a good team out of luck. Now that's an opportunity to show the roosters weren't just off today.

 

[HoldenV8]

We are clearly more of an attacking team than we are a defensive team. But the name of the game is to outscore your opponents. I said it last week, I'll say it now.....while I prefer good defence, I don't care if we let in 30 per game so long as we're scoring at least 31.

All there for everyone to see. Average coach and an average team as a result.

 

[JakeyB789]

The whole 1-17 has been atrocious today. That has to come down to the coaching rather than individual players, as bad as some of them have been (especially our two highest paid players)

I was ready to rap Seibold after our start to the season but remember that he did the same last year, and with the Broncos in 2020. The way things are going it really seems he can only get a team up for a couple of weeks before everyone gets sick of all the talk and weird Manly mentality rubbish

But l'm sure he and the playing group will take some learnings from the game and try to improve on that next week,

You can't blame the coach for most of those errors today, surely.

Two weeks in a row we have made over 14 errors.
Definitely the coach should have addressed this after last week's 14 errors.

 

[frank stokes]

so if we beat the riff next week will that be because Seibold is a genius?
I could not give a flying f*ck about losing a R4 game at WIN stadium (last year was our first win there in like 18 years!)
We play finals and don’t go out without an effort and I will be happy… if not then Siebold is a myth…

 

[maxta]

I reckon a good chance to bounce back with a Massive effort against Penrith next week, but truth is there is no definition on the coaching till finals time.
Personally don't feel he is genius or terrible, but today those errors made by quality players comes down to the individual players, not the coach.

 

[mickqld]

We will get lapped by Penrith next week. This bunch is mentally weak from the leaders down.

 

[double hoops]

The coach has done a great job. You don't beat the rosters the other week with a crap coach. He was all about consistency during the pre season and before this game. And you know what. He probably knew they were flat, to be all about consistency in every sentence in his interview on Fox.

We have lazy players that don't like to back up.

The coach is clearly trying to change it.

But he might need to let a few go yet.

Hats off to Seibolds. He's doing way better than I ever thought.

Such a disappointing loss.

Yeah it’s his tactics of wanting the team to shift the ball all the time. They go out there with a mentality to blitz and score tries instead of running hard and tackling hard. It’s on the coach.

A lot of those errors today had nothing to do with dynamic attack tho… blokes were dropping the ball cold under no pressure and throwing forward passes all over the place (at least 2 that were not called)

They didn’t earn the right to shift it as much as they did today, the middles were below par, put under pressure from all the errors.

A game performance that hopefully doesn’t get repeated this season.

^^This. A game where we had to grind out through the forwards first as you could've guessed that the Goons were stung from last week and would come at us through the middle. Yet we try to take the easy options from the beginning before we had earnt the right to play expansive. It was poor coaching and poor leadership.
