Sack Seibold Immediately

[Nordburg]

I think what he is saying is either way a new coach will be in control for 2026. It’s yet to be decided if they will keep Seibold around to do the media side of things & take the heat while someone else is coaching in the background like Tigers did with the Sheens/Benji.

The thinking is having a rookie coach just focusing on the team will help them develop quicker rather than worrying about media pressures.

Except Sheens is a legend and has a history of premiership success for Benji to learn off.Not sure what Seibold has to offer a rookie

Holbrook with Ballin and Randall as assistants …won’t happen

Doubt Willie Peters will coach Manly after what happened during his time when he was an assistant here when Barrett was in charge

The game was well past Sheens when he came back I don’t think Benji learnt much from him at all which would explain the 3 spoons in a row. How their relationship turned out would also suggest they didn’t agree on much. It’s more about avoiding media pressure if it’s a poor first year but we’ll see what happens.

I agree re Sheens being past it,but he still had something to offer Benji with his experience.All Seibold offers is how to pull the wool over the eyes of executive types and getting early payouts

Unfortunately that could hinder Manly’s chances if they wanted to go down that road.But those people he had issues with are no longer at the club,other than the Penn’s

I like the idea of Ennis getting a chance at some stage for the following reasons:

• Has a bit of a hard edge when needed.
• Speaks with clarity, good communicator.
• Has experienced different coaching styles.
• A premiership winner.
• Could probably still put a reasonable showing on the training paddock.
• Experience with Manly.
• Known Motivator.
• Current commentator role requires analysing every NRL club's player's strengths and weaknesses.
• As above, understands the modern game including tactics.
• Apparently key Manly players are impressed by him.
• His high profile would likely draw players to club better than current Coaching staff.
• Grew up supporting Manly and nephew (by marriage) of Frank Stanton (for those after Manly DNA).

I love the speculation but as I stated weeks ago Seibold will be coach at start of next season it has been decided even if we lose remainder of season games 50 nil. Internally they have chosen DCE drama and injuries to blame the season on Seibold is getting a pass ( I don't agree with this but it is not my decision)

Seibold was never being sacked ( in my opinion ).

But he will be at some stage in 2026 because if we start losing , and badly , and the attendances will start to go down that will really hurt the Fluffy bottom line.

He’ll then take notice

Up until now I was convinced he was staying.

Heard something today that’s made me rethink that.

Can’t say much more — but I wouldn’t be getting too comfortable if I was on the coaching staff.

Here's hoping whatever cryptic movements you speak of are good ones

If you expect them to just blab the whole truth to the media you’re very naive.

Manly set to lock in coaching future to end Seibold speculation​

Manly have moved to end speculation about the future of under-pressure coach Anthony Seibold – tabling a key extension to shore up their coaching structure ahead of the 2026 season.
Manly have tabled Michael Ennis a new 12-month contract for next season to continue working as a specialist coach focused on sharpening the club’s attack.
The new offer to Ennis is the first sign of evidence that the Sea Eagles are planning to stick with their same NRL coaching structure in 2026, including head coach Anthony Seibold, beyond this season.

Sea Eagles management have remained bullish that despite the club’s 10th position on the ladder and long odds to play finals football this season, Seibold will remain in charge next year.

The head coach is contracted to the Sea Eagles until the end of 2027.

Seibold has coached this season to a backdrop of major turmoil, sparked by the messy handling of captain Daly Cherry-Evans announcing his departure from the club, on top of a massive injury toll.

With an acute understanding of how upsetting Cherry-Evans’ decision was to the dressing room, Manly management are willing to back Seibold into next season.

Seibold also has a good working relationship with Ennis, whose consultancy work with the team’s spine will be even more paramount next season with the arrival of a new halfback in Canberra’s Jamal Fogarty.

Widely viewed as an NRL coach-in-waiting, Ennis joined Manly last season adding to a strong resume of coaching experience, having previously held roles at the Sharks, Raiders and Eels.

Manly’s bid to keep Ennis at the club also keeps the door ajar for the former Sharks premiership-winning hooker and Fox Sports commentator to replace Seibold, should the current coach decide to step away at the end of his current contract.

It has been widely reported that Seibold may not want to coach beyond his current deal.

There was a meeting organised by Manly powerbrokers last season with Ennis’ agent George Mimis and club CEO Tony Mestrov to discuss the possibility of a succession plan that included the 273-game player and former NSW Origin hooker taking over from Seibold at the end of his current contract.

It’s believed Mimis made it clear at the time that Ennis’ only focus was to support Seibold’s coaching strategy.

Well this is going to make the Seidud fans very unhappy

 

[Not Paul Kent]

Just wait and see…

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Just wait and see…

You might need to offer a little more

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

This stuff is usually the kiss of death so who knows

 

[Cliffycomeback]

You might need to offer a little more

When paired with the previous message on this subject posted by @Not Paul Kent it seems fairly obvious. It appears he is suggesting that Siebold won't be here in a coaching capacity next season and Michael Ennis will be taking on a bigger role.

 

[mave]

Full support of the board eh?

See ya Siebs, the ultimate kiss of death.
