The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

[LeonardCohen]

We've been through a few coaches since our last premiership yet there has been one constant in our decline . . . (well, maybe two if you count DCE)

And thank God we had that second constant…I would have been guttered to win the spoon.

Who would you go for, mate ? Who do you think would turn things around for us ?

Mate. As we have robustly discussed in the past that's not the question to be asked.
My take was and still is replace with better. Seibold was not and is not Better than what we had in Des. The club made a complete cock-up and now have to run with it.
I have no idea who could replace Seifold to be fair. Ballen perhaps in a few years?

As for what happened at the Broncos, well documented he was white anted by people who thought a Bronco (Walters) should have got the job.

Sounds just like in the Eagles nest. Just the other way around. Des was White anted by the owner and CEO.

Pretty much. Des was not sufficiently deferential to the owner (and I don't blame him).

Why is he persisting with rubes at centre.

We now have young hoppa who's emerged as a fullback so if Tom is going to be in centres it's basic.
1 hoppa
2 saab
3 tom
4 Pepsi
5 rubes

With the other tom t on the bench. But not our man siefool he moves pepsi to fullback and keeps rubes at centre. Love rubes but defensively he's not up to centre.

exactly. Garrick at centre is a failure so far. id rather have young hoppa at FB and Koula at 3/4 at this moment.
Perhaps Koula might kill it with a little more time. He looked shocking under the high ball last time out so lets hope koula steps up.

Im with you Cammo and after all he did say that the team would be picked on form not by reputation or was that just for the Schu,s benefit

Ah f*8k it. I want turbo at fullback. What are we doing?

 

[rmd]

It's a difficult one, as Garrick just doesn't do it for me at centre, as he is such a good winger. He is a finnisher while at Centre he doesn't seem to set up his winger. Several times this season, a try was on and Garrick chose the wrong option. I also question Garrick's defence at centre, whereas at winger, he is pretty good.

I think Turbo will likely shift between Centre and Fullback with Koula, and he will have a roving role.

In defence, I think Turbo will be at the back, whereas in attack, I think he'll just rove left and right when he sees an opportunity.

I think this match is going to be 'clunky'. The forwards need to try and own the middle, which will be difficult, as they are up against strong opposition.

Lehi Hopoate on the bench makes me feel the starting team may not resemble the actual starting team, and Koula may well be on left wing outside of Turbo and Tommy Talau on the bench. I may be completeky wrong and Hopoate is just there to cover any possible injury to Turbo.

I really hope this is a 'break out game' for Brooks, as he has so much talent, and with Turbo playing left centre, and roving, it just may create the space he needs.

If we win, we are potentially 5th and if we lose we are potentially 12th.

This is the closest competition I can ever remember.

Phins on the bye so we can't jump them. 6th is our ceiling this week.
Knights and Raiders playing each other so our floor is 11th (unless Wahs win and make up 59 points f/a)

Brave from AS.
Manly need a boost, having faulted without Turbo.
Turbo now back and instead of doing what's easy and slotting turbo to 1 and hoping for a few wins AS is Brave enough to move Tom.

It certainly is a huge call. How it plays out will have a huge impact on Seibs coaching future at Manly.

I get it, but through injury, Tom hasn't finished a single season on the field since 2018, apart from 2021.

We can keep doing what we've been doing and expect something different (definition of insanity and all), or we try something different and see how it works.

Tom won the Wally Lewis Medal in 2021 at centre so it's not like he can't be effective there.

yeah BUT he also dislocated his otherwise never injured shoulder at 3/4. I don't think being in the 3/4 line will limit his need for the hard stuff in fact i think it will increase the time he's getting smashed by edge back rowers.
The guy is injury cursed. its a shame but its a fact. Id rather a 2021 turbo at the back than a Turbo in the 3/4 line that never does much. just me.

 

[Cameron]

The drums are starting to beat. More talk on 360 tonight that if manly miss the 8. He's going to be under pressure and Arthur is ready and waiting

The 2021 Turbo is never coming back..thats a fact.

The center thing is worth a try. If it doesn't work then put him back to fullback.

Tooves mentioned that once Turbo gets some miles into his legs at high speed they will put him at fullback, could take a few games..

I hardly think the coach who’s done completely **** all with the Eels is an upgrade , in fact I’d go so far to say it’s a serious downgrade.

Lol, fox are really struggling just now trying to invent some controversies. Yeah Arthur got them to grand final, only took him 10 years and a wooden spoon, and then they're straight back to the bottom!
