Who should coach us

[Cochrane]

someone who wont cuddle players, backs themselves rather than keeping the playing group happy in fear of losing their job.

 

[Eagle thru 'n' thru]

Ivan Cleary for me, with Toovs as assistant coach.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

What we have is a lot of points of talent but simply not an 80 minute side. What we need is a coach who will put some steel into the side.

 

[Ashton Davis]

This club last peaked when it had passionate Manly men who were natural winners masterminding a path to the top. This club was as good as dead around 2003 so to imagine that success was around the corner was unbelievable. The following years saw Hasler, Toovey and Singe band together and form a hardened squad of good mates. It led to the biggest grand final victory which was made sweeter by the fact that it was a shut out of the most hated side of the modern era. A 2nd title was achieved a few years later over and we contentiously fell short of a 3rd shortly after that.

Tooves held the place together pretty well after Des left and Des wasn’t able to replicate his success the 2nd time around without the team that he had for the 1st run.

People keep saying it because it’s true. As long as Penn owns the club, it’s hard to imagine that we will be successful on the field

 

[Ashton Davis]

Ivan Cleary for me, with Toovs as assistant coach.

I really admire Cleary. I initially wrote him off due to how long it was taking him to win a title but he’s clearly very intelligent and has unlocked the coaches handbook. He has aged very well as a coach and would have to be considered the top coach in the game right now

 

[IQofalimabean]

Watmoughs revenge give him the coaching reigns and good luck dce lol

 

[HK_Eagle]

I don't want Bennett here, he is a short term fix.
Every club he has left falls into a worse hole than we are currently in and takes years to recover.

Ummm yeah… his 7 premierships say otherwise. Or are you concerned we don’t back it up the year after winning a premiership?

 

[master blaster]

Josh Hannay, isnt that who Des recommended that he would want to take over when he left, but again, if Des wanted him, then Penn would have put a line straight through his name

 

[skull61]

What about that pommy bloke Shaun Wane he’s had some success

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I think it’s pretty simple , a Silvertails collective , because after all there’s some ****ing experts on here.

Why waste millions chasing Bennett when you can have “ the Silvertails Collective “ for almost nothing.

It would be rotational, 1 motivational coach , 1 for the forwards , 1 for the backs .
So who’s first up??

 

[Rocky]

Got to be honest - the list of names put up on this thread (besides Ivan Cleary and Bennett) is very uninspiring.

@BOZO For motivational coach for sure

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Absolutely, my first choice

@The Royal Soup definitely first up in the coaching role.

@Ryan is in charge of recruitment

What could go wrong 😂😂😂

 

[Nordburg]

Lee Briers

 

[double hoops]

Although I loathed him as a player, I think Billy Slater would be an amazing option (but would never happen)

For the Perth Sea Eagles he might.

 

[Eagle 1]

I'd like to see Peter Sharp given another chance with Trent Barrett and Brad Arthur as assistants.

PS That Manly DNA is long dead and cant be revived, its a generational thing.

Yeah, we gave it a red hot go in the pre-season, the Manly way, more ex players coming on board to coach etc etc...now, where were we ?

 

[Fibro Eagle]

I don’t have a problem with Seilbold
There could be more Manly as his assistants that’s for sure ,
Theres Ballin and Monaghan working currently with Nrl clubs
There are some involved in lower grades so maybe Seilbold will bring them up as they progress

Anthony Watmough is the head coach of Manly's Sydney Shield side for 2024.
Sea Eagles players, Brett Stewart,Matt Orford, Jamie Buhrer, Solomon Haumono and David O’Donnell all in coaching roles at the club.

Stewart is the assistant coach of their SG Ball team.
While Haumono is the assistant coach to Manly's Lisa Fiaola Cup side
Orford and Buhrer are involved in the club's under-16 development program.

 

[sheridanstand78]

If he ever got fed up at Penrith, throw the kitchen sink at Manly junior Ivan Cleary. I agree that we need more Manly DNA in our coaching set up.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I understand that Peter has now changed his surname by Deed Poll to ‘Instrument’.

As in a blunt one.

As much as people want make fun of Brad Arthur, Manly’s defence under his tutelage was good enough to see them into the 2013 Grand Final.

Hasn’t happened since.
