Manly Coach 2026 is...

[Cameron]

Mick Ennis. It's done and dusted as soon as our season is finished (Round 27) Seibs will no longer be our coach.

Not sure how I feel about this one.

Ennis is there now, he's untried and never played for the club.

But he is a winner , spent a lot of time playing under hasler, Bennett and flano and comes from a fanatical manly supporting family so he is as close to a manly player without being one.

Interesting times ahead

Meh

Definitely whelming

 

[Cameron]

My source is pretty reliable usually.

I'd love to see Matt Ballin or Chad Randall get a go although I heard Chad doesn't get on with CEO Messedup

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Source? This is way too confident of a post based on an inside word.

 

[Brookie1973]

Any chance Ballin as assistant?

When can we start the Sack Ennis thread?

 

[Rosko]

May or may not happen. Can hardly do any worse.
Not much belief we will do any better, with the roster (and culture) we have.

When can we start the Sack Ennis thread?

No prizes for guessing what his Silvertails nickname will be after a loss.

I can see Barrett mk2 approaching like a freight train.

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

If he becomes our coach, I will have to stop calling him Anus then.

Do you want to start the Ennidud thread now or leave it ??

 

[Brookie1973]

On the bright side, we won’t have to listen to his commentary anymore.

At least until we drop from the top 8 which I'd say RD3 2026.

Can Andrew Voss be his assistant or
Media manager then. Hate listening to that flog

I don’t mind Ennis. It’s worth a try. Seibold is out of ideas, we need someone fresh.

It’s worth a try I guess. Will probably get more respect from the playing group, which I suspect is a major issue at present. I like the fact he was a fan as a youngster.

 

[Macca777]

maybe we will get an actual hooker at some point under him... playing groups is too old, too slow and we have no ruck creativity..... Clean out and new younger blend of players needed.

 

[Ohgeez]

High football IQ & 1 of the best on field motivators according to ex team mates, I’m optimistic about this. Will be interesting to see if it can translate. Id guess Matt B or another ex manly player will be assistant to keep everyone happy.

Seibold seems like a smart guy that just isn’t cut out to be a head coach, I wouldn’t mind seeing him in another role around the club.

Listen to what Townsend had to say about Ennis

 

[Leighbra]

Fingers crossed this works out! I reckon Ennis is a great pick—he just seems to have that vibe that makes players pumped to put on the jersey and give it their all for him Seibold doesn't really have that kind of presence.

 

[Frogz]

An untried coach, who is at his 4th club since 2019. If this guy was any good, he wouldn't be on the list, someone else would have snapped him up. Please no, this is not what manly needs.
