Has there been a coaching in the history of the game to lose 7 straight games by considerably margins and keep their job?

I don't know exactly, but we are in Paul Langmack, Craig Coleman territory if that happens.

2 other noted master students of the game.

Not sure, but Seibs lost 6 straight at the Broncos, had one win, then lost the next 4 (before taking leave).

We will lose 7 straight and can’t blame it on youth because we aren’t a young developing side, we are a washed up old beaten up side.. Nothing to look forward to next year either, because the recruitment strategy that has failed us this year looks we are following the same blue print for next year

Not quite , I think what we need to look forward to is the development of the youngsters we have or might have.

If we have no money to buy anyone , or they simply won’t come regardless , then nothing left but to hope some of the kids come good.

I agree but I just think playing youth this late in the season with half our squad out isn’t fair on these young kids. They dream of playing NRL and for it to be a magical moment with friends and family but with this current lacklustre squad we would be feeding these young man to the wolves and basically ensuring that there debut game will be a 40 point loss that doesn’t sit right with me it’s not fair on them.

Penn is kidding isn’t he? What about his self inflicted pride jersey fiasco that sabotaged a season and then using that as the excuse to sack Hasler. Why does Grimace get the benefit of “excuses”?

I don't buy the they won't come rubbish. How did we get Fogarty? How did the wooden spoon Tigers sign Korisau, Jerome and the May brothers? How is a good winger like Wilson interested to come here? We will sign a few and elevate a few more I think. The excuses are as weak as they are funny.

Manly set to lock in coaching set-up in clear nod to Anthony Seibold’s future​

Manly have moved to end speculation about the future of under-pressure coach Anthony Seibold – tabling a key extension to shore up their coaching structure ahead of the 2026 season.

Manly have tabled Michael Ennis a new 12-month contract for next season to continue working as a specialist coach focused on sharpening the club’s attack.
The new offer to Ennis is the first sign of evidence that the Sea Eagles are planning to stick with their same NRL coaching structure in 2026, including head coach Anthony Seibold, beyond this season.

Sea Eagles management have remained bullish that despite the club’s 10th position on the ladder and long odds to play finals football this season, Seibold will remain in charge next year.

The head coach is contracted to the Sea Eagles until the end of 2027.

Seibold has coached this season to a backdrop of major turmoil, sparked by the messy handling of captain Daly Cherry-Evans announcing his departure from the club, on top of a massive injury toll.

With an acute understanding of how upsetting Cherry-Evans’ decision was to the dressing room, Manly management are willing to back Seibold into next season.

Seibold also has a good working relationship with Ennis, whose consultancy work with the team’s spine will be even more paramount next season with the arrival of a new halfback in Canberra’s Jamal Fogarty.

Widely viewed as an NRL coach-in-waiting, Ennis joined Manly last season adding to a strong resume of coaching experience, having previously held roles at the Sharks, Raiders and Eels.


Ennis is expected to work closely with incoming halfback Jamal Fogarty.
Manly’s bid to keep Ennis at the club also keeps the door ajar for the former Sharks premiership-winning hooker and Fox Sports commentator to replace Seibold, should the current coach decide to step away at the end of his current contract.


It has been widely reported that Seibold may not want to coach beyond his current deal.

There was a meeting organised by Manly powerbrokers last season with Ennis’ agent George Mimis and club CEO Tony Mestrov to discuss the possibility of a succession plan that included the 273-game player and former NSW Origin hooker taking over from Seibold at the end of his current contract.

It’s believed Mimis made it clear at the time that Ennis’ only focus was to support Seibold’s coaching strategy.

The Sea Eagles can keep their slim final hopes alive by beating the Dolphins in Cherry-Evans’ 350th NRL appearance at 4 Pines Park on Saturday.
