Michael Ennis

Mick Ennis is smart.

Just like DCE, Ennis does not want to work for Seibold and definitely has learnt very little being an assistant to Seibold.


Be my guess Seibold has punted Ennis, or at least played a part. If he has that power.

Seems odd that the heir apparent just steps down when after 6 or 7 games next year he could be in charge.

Something is afoot.
 
Why Mick Ennis is quitting Manly (redacted non-Manly stuff)

The man sounded out by Manly to succeed Anthony Seibold as head coach will depart the Sea Eagles after Friday night.

Manly CEO Tony Mestrov approached Mick Ennis at the end of last year to gauge his appetite to take over at the end of 2027 after Seibold flagged a desire to move into a management role.

But sources with knowledge of the situation not authorised to speak publicly confirmed Ennis will pass on a 12-month extension on the table at Manly and explore his options elsewhere.

Ennis, who worked as an assistant and in specialist roles with Canberra, Cronulla and Parramatta before he settled into a part-time role on the Northern Beaches, feels he is ready to take on a job that offers greater responsibility.

St George Illawarra need a coaching replacement for Ryan Carr, who will head to the Super League to take charge at Castleford, and have already been linked to Ennis.

The premiership-winning former hooker has aspirations to become an NRL head coach, and knows he will first need to quit his media commitments with Fox Sports. As it stands, the flexibility of part-time coaching allows him to remain in his role in front of the camera.

As for Manly and their last game of the season, Seibold confirmed Joey Walsh would debut off the bench on Friday and spend time in the halves with Daly Cherry-Evans whose No.7 jersey he will one day own.

“I feel like Joey has been our best player in second grade, he’s only 19, and I wanted to give him an opportunity to play the back end of the game in the halves with ‘Chez’; it’s a good reward for him, and gets him keen for pre-season,” Seibold said.

“He started the year eligible for SG Ball, and he’ll finish the year playing 10 to 15 minutes in first grade.”

He looks too much like Barrett in that photo for my liking
