Seibold speaks ... and makes sense

[Budgie]

The job of the players is to get that premiership!
Everyone around them has a role to play, and head coach is definitely a key role, but all their roles are to help the players win ... and the players aren't always up to it!

(Greatest coach of all time has his team sitting ... second last!)

I guess it depends how you see the role of the coach.

For me, he (or she but not in NRL) is most like the conductor in an orchestra, the final and most important element. An orchestra, like a sports team, can be brimming with the word's greatest talent, brilliant individuals. But without the conductor (here we go with the dreaded puns) being on song, the end result is decidedly off key. Same with any sports team.

You could argue that the difference is that the coach isn't on the field, but he is in the box and should be able to respond to what he sees in front of him. The most glaring recent example of that from Seibold was clearly being outcoached by Adam O'Brien who made moves, mid game, in response to our weaknesses, without Seibold making a single counter move.

Admittedly I miss a lot of the nuances of the game. I think I really mostly just like the Manly colours and seeing them win every bloody game (which never happens)

**** presser by him deflecting on Israel and Ukraine ... but prob the only time ive seen him show some kind of fkn emotion for the first time.. the fact he defelcted to wars that have nothing to do with us , is him saying we could be in their postion , is fkn pissweak. well we arnt there , we are here and this is what you have to work with buddy .... Start being a coach and start coaching , and start making players accountable for not tackling , and not keeping up their fitness , and for making stupid errors consistently. ALso sick of those clowns saying well i dont see the coach dropiing the ball , and missing tackles. The fact they do is a reflection of the fkn coach....
