Of course Seibold has his weaknesses, as do most humans (with the exception of some silvertails) but I don't really have any concerns that he is not prepared to make any big calls.
- Allowing Fifita (forget his first name) and the other promising junior prop (also forget his name) to go in return for Woods
- Allowing Latu and Samuela to leave
- Pissing Schu off to cut our losses
- Signing unfashionable half Brooks to play 5/8
- Selecting Lehi when there may have been barely a solitary Silvertail saying he's ready for 1st grade
- Pushing Jake up to prop from the lock spot he's held for yonks
All of those examples were quite big calls and he's made others, such as putting backs on the bench.
I'd say the bulk of those have been shown to be good calls in hindsight.
What he does about the DCE situation (assuming there is a DCE situation, which I think most here believe) he won't put his head in the sand. It's probably such a big deal that he'll be in close consultation not only with his assistants but also with Mestrov and quite possibly with any mentors he still has from his other situations.
Will he get it right? I have no idea!!
But I'm confident he's aware of the situation, smart enough to know when a club has the serious wobbles, and he's not shy to make big calls. His own career as well as Manly's season might be riding on it?
