Sack Seibold Immediately

[Eagle 1]

Have to admire the fact that throughout his time at manly, his expression has not changed one bit whenever the camera goes to him in the box. Same non-plussed, vacant stare. No talking to assistant coaches, no barking instructions, no storming out. Just the same blank stare. Pretty impressive.

Nah, uncle Wayne has this down pat.

Unless we can poach a current coach like the Dogs did when they took Des in 2012we might as well keep Seibold.

I wonder if we are ringing Robinson, Cleary, Webster or even Fitzgibbon.

They probably wouldn’t pick up. I wouldn’t if I was them.

Yeah, but he has an excuse. He’s 90 years old.

100%. Exactly like I've been saying for a while ... its all well and good sacking Seibold before the end of the year, but exactly who can step in on short notice and do a better job??

Demetriou took over Souths after the 2021 GF and they promptly went backwards.

Matty Ballin failed as Blacktown coach in 2021. There are reasons why people like Ballin and Trent Barrett are strictly assistant coaches.

Tooves?? Hasn't coached in nearly a decade.

Ennis?? Hasn't coached anyone and hopefully his first won't be us.

I agree Seibold needs to go, but right now or even next week just wouldn't be a good idea. There really is no one of even half decent quality available.

Does it matter? Literally anyone would do as a caretaker. Make Jake captain coach. Years gone anyway. Spoon avoided by the looks.

 

[Brookie1973]

Apart from results, it’s the lack of any discernible game plan/playing style that gets me. What are we actually trying to do out there? I honestly don’t think we’ve gotten out of the 2021 mode of just getting it to Tom. Once Tom started getting injured, we’ve looked like headless chooks most of the time.

Mate I was backing Siebold but it’s time to make hard decisions. Also please don’t tell me you think the Trbos have been anything but below average the past few years? Can you honestly say their tenure has been a success?

I guess the main question is, would we have been better off with Gutho than Turbo?
Jake has been consistently a good player, just overpaid the last couple of years.

You do realise the two senior Trbjovic’s are part of the crew that wanted Seibold out,right?

False, that’s why Waddell and Garrick still get starting spots.
Seibold hides behind the Trevejovic family to keep his job.

Mate I don’t know how to answer that lolol. The 2021 version of Trbo 100%…..The 22, 23, 24, 25 versions of Gutho 100%!
Unfortunately Jake hasn’t been so good the last few years. Tonight showed how slow our forwards are! TKO our best tonight. The rest disappointing! Waddell omg!

Matt failing as a coach in one NSW Cup season isn't really affirmative one way or the other as to whether he's coaching material.

He had the likes of Tolu Koula and Terrell May in that team. It's not like he was playing with a terrible injury depleted reserve grade roster... In 2021 we had very few injuries.

He certainly could've done a lot better than that. If we're going to get a coach, one of the main recommendations going around through the coaching sphere is that they should have experience with U'20's, reserve grade, etc. You can't just be an assistant coach.

And if you’ve only been an assistant coach,at least have an extensive resume behind you,one that shows you’ve worked at several successful clubs.Not just rock up to training sessions every so often,in between your main gig as an analyst on a subscription television channel that’s dedicated to rugby league,that allows you to say “brulliant,absolutely brulliant”

The whole point is not to make anything worse.

With no one else of any decent quality available, making it worse is about all sacking him would do right now unfortunately.

I'd argue the last two weeks we have gone backwards at a rapid rate, when we should be doing the opposite.

It's pretty clear that most of the playing group are done for the year too.....with 5 weeks to go.

We've already lost the unlosable v Knights, Parra., Titans.

How much worse could it be?

Josh Hannay has served a long apprenticeship at a couple of clubs.
John Morris in the same boat.
BA is still looking for a gig.

Theres always options.
