The Sea Eagles have confirmed the Seabirds will be back supporting the team in 2014.
The Manly Sea Eagles cheerleading squad will be out in force to support the team next season.
A spokesman for the Sea Eagles said the Seabirds had the full support of the club after the Canterbury Bulldogs announced it was demoting its squad from game day activities.
The Canberra Raiders are reviewing the future of their squad.
A spokesman for the Sea Eagles said: "We haven't made any changes for what will happen next year (with the Seabirds) . . . they have always been great ambassadors for the club."
Seabirds choreographer Monique Carroll reiterated to fans what the club said.
The Sea Eagles have confirmed the Seabirds will be back supporting the team in 2014.
"We've got full support from the Manly Sea Eagles, there has never been any doubt," she said.
"The Seabirds have become a brand of their own . . . we have such a big dancing community on the northern beaches."
The Bulldogs have chosen to have their cheerleaders abandon their pre-game and halftime routines to focus on off-field work as ambassadors. Canberra cited cost issues as one of the reasons they were reviewing their squad's future.
The Seabirds have their own sponsor - Tech Titan.
While the future looked positive for the Seabirds, Mrs Carroll said it would be unfortunate if other clubs chose to disband or demote their cheerleading squads.
"It would be a shame for the girls, for the cheerleaders, to lose their identity in the league," she said.
globaleagle said:The quote from Ms Castle says...""We want to go in a more professional direction than just dance in revealing outfits. They'll still be doing cheerleading at the game, they will still have pompoms, but we're going to give them more opportunities as well."

I take it we can expect to see the dogs cheerleaders all decked out in blue and white burqas next year.
So we can expect to see the dogs cheerleaders looking resplendent in fetching blue and white burqas next year......wombatgc said:There'd been talk at the Bulldogs previous about the uniforms (lack of ) offending a large portion of the Muslim faithful out Belmore way. Looks like Castle's bowed to that pressure immediately.
