We missed the 8 the coach should be done!
That’s called “ high expectations “Well seasons over.

But he wont
Anyone see Michael checka on ch 9 Wednesday night.
Impressive coach.

Manly finished 9th in defence, 8th in attack, won 12 gamesWe missed the 8 the coach should be done!
So they really didn’t improve and I suspect that’ll be the case as long as they continue with SeiboldManly finished 9th in defence, 8th in attack, won 12 games
Compare last year in 7th in defence, 5th in attack, won 13 plus a draw.
So went backwards a bit by all measures.
Though to be fair we had a significantly worse run with injuries than last year. Plus certain other problems, notably, captain publicly abandoning ship when the season had scarcely started)
Given that Harvard sees a 50% year as normally a success, then let's all go out and have champagne to celebrate!Manly finished 9th in defence, 8th in attack, won 12 games

Who coaches Harvard? Perhaps we should chase them.Given that Harvard sees a 50% year as normally a success, then let's all go out and have champagne to celebrate!
Hey any excuse is fine by me. Line em up 🙂Given that Harvard sees a 50% year as normally a success, then let's all go out and have champagne to celebrate!
He can't get players to buy in , didn't at his previous clubs and again here. It's not a personal thing just how it is , if the club wants results and a great culture it starts at the top. He has to go , failed real bad with no accountability to the leader of the Pride fiasco and then the Schuster extension was a joke. Rookie errors in man management at any workplace.Manly finished 9th in defence, 8th in attack, won 12 games

Our season was terminal after round 3. Massive win against Canberra offset by season ending Paskea injury and our captain announcing him leaving the club and the rest of us dangling why it played out. We were not a serious threat after that to make a run at the premiership!Manly finished 9th in defence, 8th in attack, won 12 games

We won 3 games when it didn't matter against sides with basically nothing to play for also, including the warriors who could not improve their position. We played the Roosters at home and Tigers when it DID matter and....Absolutely, I hear you! The last three weeks have been a proper statement given the injuries and gaps in the forward pack. Winning with Lodge, Simpkin, TKO, Waddell, Burbo, and Tevaga at the start would’ve seemed a stretch to anyone—so credit where it’s due.
We all thought we had a top-4 roster last year, and this year. The positive thing is that even if we miss the finals again—or just scrape in limping—our juniors are thriving. Depth has been our saving grace—look how well the juniors went! Hopefully we keep developing a strong junior base. While it’s easy to bag whoever, the fact we’re still competing in style says a lot about the squad.
I’m really hoping our coach can make Lodge captain like he did at the Broncos and bring him into the top 30 for next year—or even add him to a development deal like Woods had—it’ll be great to see what he can do with a full pre-season and not starting the season odd training with cup.
Excited to see the mix of youth stepping up and key upgrades coming through. Names like Willett, Kioa, Feledy, Lawry, Walsh, Laiafi, Sykes, Mafoa, Patolo, Hart, Paulo, Muagututia, etc. could really take us to the next level. Dunford is gone, so it’ll be interesting to see who fills that gap.
But hey, Klemmer will be a great pick-up—he fits the classic Manly Cove DNA perfectly!
Knowing our luck, roster management will be just as ‘creative’ next year… so I’ll be keeping my seatbelt on for another wild ride!
Here’s to 2026—bring it on!
Look at him if he was getting irate all the time he would have a heart attackSomething uplifting about seeing Seibold lose it in the coaches box, he was irate! Just needs to rip a door off and there might be hope for him yet.
