Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

I'm not interesting in knocking Seibs but it does look like Ciraldo has taken a more successful approach to the game, given the current interpretation of the rules. I am certain we have more natural talent in our ranks than the Dogs, but they're on a higher trajectory than us, IMO. Their win last night was superb and came without two of their three best players, not to mention the importance of Burton's kicking game in how they play. Ciro's team are fit, hungry, lean, and mobile. They are winning games with their defence. Outside of Melbourne, Cronulla have arguably the most lethal attack in the NRL; creative halves, fast and strong outside backs, line running edge forwards, and a steady mix of mobile and big forwards. To keep them to 6 on their home turf is no mean feat.

If we could defend with the same energy and enthusiasm as the Dogs, we'd be unstoppable with our attack. Besides the Dogs line speed and kick chase, I've noticed they don't stop competing or die on any play. For example, last night, the ball was kicked to Tracey, he collected it and made a voluntary tackle. Most players across the NRL, lie on Tracey, then get up and let him play the ball. At Canterbury, they grab Tracey by the jersey and drag him 3-4 metres towards the in-goal. It might not seem overly necessary but those little extra efforts add up across 80 minutes and frustrate the life out of the opposition. The NRL is all about effort first, and Canterbury are showing the way.
Ciraldos game plan was very good yesterday and the players delivered it.

The Gummies have one of the best forward packs in the competition and stopping their momentum is difficult, the dogs line speed was there all game.

They went high turnover of players to get a squad of players adopting the systems that Ciraldo has developed.
 
WTF did Seibold put him in the team today. Clearly injured when he ran on.
If we can't beat Parra without Turbo, we should give up.

Turbo should have been getting himself 100% fit for Melbourne next week.
 
@BOZO got me thinking about Seibold with his overwhelming appraisal of Ciraldo.

Since taking the helm as head coach of the Manly Sea Eagles in 2023, Seibold has brought a revitalised coaching approach that emphasises both tactical innovation and player development.

Seibold has implemented a dynamic style of play, his focus on creating a well-rounded team structure is leading to a cohesive unit on the field, encouraging players to express their individual skills while adhering to a unified game plan.

This tactical shift has not only improved the team's competitiveness but has promoted a culture of accountability and continuous improvement among players.

In the realm of recruiting, Seibold's vision has translated into strategic acquisitions that align with the club's needs and future ambitions.

He has been instrumental in identifying and recruiting talents that fit the team’s ethos, bringing in both seasoned veterans and promising young players.

This approach has not only deepened the squad's talent pool but has also provided valuable mentorship opportunities for younger players, been impressive in his second season with the recruitment of the Large brothers, Walsh and Willett.

By focusing on players with strong character and a commitment to development, Seibold has enhanced the overall culture within the club, ensuring that new recruits integrate smoothly and contribute to the team's long-term goals.

Seibold's ability to build relationships and communicate effectively with players has proven instrumental in boosting morale and engagement within the team.

Listening to current players speak of him and particularly Bully, he emphasis on open dialogue and feedback which has created an atmosphere where players feel valued and understood, encouraging them to buy into the collective vision of the club.

Seibold's impact since joining the club has been marked by a focus on tactical evolution, strategic recruitment, and fostering a positive team environment, positioning the club for both immediate success and sustainable growth in the future.

Do you get AI to draft your posts? (not that there's anything wrong with that, lol)

It’s the panthers v2 - all players compete on all plays. “Total football” - no slackers.
