Sack Seibold Immediately

[Cliffycomeback]

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.

Look man, I know you had high hopes for Seibs and advocated strongly for him to be given a fair go but his time here will likely go down as a big failure. Des did better than Seibs and was unceremoniously booted out of the place. We will need a replacement soon. Is Matty Ballin the answer? I don't know but with the right team around him it might work. Nothing is guaranteed in football and failure is more likely than achieving the ultimate success. I don't think we have improved under Seibs and his recruitment while here can only be described as well below par.

The coaching department needs to be jettisoned and rebuilt. That can’t happen at this stage of the season. But decisions need to have been made and actioned by now so the rebuilt can be completed before the pre season. We need to be blooding the young stars by giving them a taste of first grade before next season. 2026 is done and dusted for us.

I don't know if Boldy is to blame for our dumb tactics in the wet, but certainly DCE and Brooks should know that you score tries in such conditions through opposition handling errors -- short kicks, challenging kicks in the air -- not trying to outpace them on the wings as if it's a dry surface.
Walker gave our two most experienced players a lesson. It was dispiriting to watch, but reinforced my belief that Brooks should follow DCE out the door.

Seibold should be allowed 2026 to prove himself because next year is the truly enormous change in the club, the first time without DCE in ten years. DCE affected our golden generation to the point where there was nothing to follow. His position at the centre of our team and as sometime captain cannot be underestimated in establishing and maintaining the culture of the place.

Next year Seibold has an entirely different landscape to work with: no DCE and more money available.

He understands the club, the culture, and the personnel much more than he would have initially and, while there really are no other options, he should be given this chance.

This is a bit like the Parra situation a couple of years back.Club wasn’t confident Arthur was the man,but they gave him about 10 Rds to turn things around.But things didn’t improve and the rest of the season was just a waste after they sacked him.In the meantime,they missed out on offering Bennett a meaningful contract because they stuffed around with the Arthur decision.If you’re not sure on a coach,it probably means he’s not the man for the job

Perhaps it's ALL Seibolds fault?
But when the game is on the team captain is in charge.
There's so many moving parts to a F.G. teams prep, that there could be many situations/injuries that supporters are not made aware of.
If anyone knows what's happening for certain, then it would be interesting to hear.
To blame one person coach or player for a loss (or a win for that matter) is just not reasonable.
Go Manly!

Not sure anyone is saying it’s solely Seibolds fault. Plenty of criticism for certain players, penn and mestrov on here as well. But like it or not, as a coach in professional sport, you live and die by results.

I'm rather sure the buck stops with Mr Fluffy and

Matt Balin liked this insta post. Might mean nothing.

I don't know whether seibold is a good coach or not, however when comparing our roster to the roosters, it is pretty clear we were over-matched. On paper, there was no way we should have won that game.

Siebold is stuck between a rock and a hard place considering he won't have an opportunity to build a roster of his own until 2027, if he can last that long.
