The Rumour that we hear everywhere

[LeonardCohen]

Could be, but as you know highly talented representative players don’t need as much coaching as the not so experienced players.

For me the senior players have let themselves and the club down this season with their on field form and efforts, look at the two most highly paid players defensive efforts over the last month.

They’re the defensive efforts you get when you no longer want to be there and/or are busted.

For the temporally challenged - the rumoured order of events:

1. 3 senior players complained they weren't happy with Seibold - date unknown;

2. the club extends Seibold - on 16th December 2024, according to the club's website:

Sea Eagles extend Anthony Seibold to end of 2027​

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have today extended the contract of Head Coach Anthony Seibold for a further two years.

3. DCE requests an early release - reportedly in the 2024 pre-season (i.e. end of 2023 going into 2024).

Can anyone see a chronological error in that sequence of events?

Also, if the players were so unhappy with Seibold as coach way back then (pre-2024 season), how did we end up in the finals last year?
