Young Forwards - Do we have any?

Who says he won't?

Seibs, probably.

Who replaces Sipley this week? All the young forwards have been in solid form. I have a feeling Paseka will also be pushing to come back so he’s in contention for the pacific championship but would prefer to see a debut for obvious reasons

Knowing Seibold he would like to pick Nathan Brown with his arm in a sling than pick a young forward.
That said, it will be Chee Kam as he fits the Seibold mantra, over 30 and crap.

Don't you go blaming me!

Lol.
I doubt Manly is making any significant forward signings for 2026 so a fair chance he gets his debut at some stage. But even if he does, probably only a small number of bench appearances (unless he absolutely kills it, of course)

And despite the Seibold-doesn't-pick-can't-coach-young-players refrain we constantly see on Silvertails, I think it's not just Seibold, it's conventional rugby league wisdom that young players are better not rushed, and that NRL experience is actually a valuable asset when it comes to ... playing well in NRL!

That is, when they're good enough, they'll get a go. (Doesn't everyone think Lehi is proof of that?)
