Welcome Anthony Seibold... and good luck

[SeaEagleRock8]

You'll need it!
I think Manly does actually have a really good roster so let's see what you can make with it.
By the way, this is your NRL coaching career on the line right here, right now.

And be careful what you say about this litigious bloke online.

No and god bless?

Interesting read about Seibold.. From the man himself.

'The value of a growth mindset' by Anthony Seibold - PlayersVoice

A Victoria's Secret runway producer. An award-winning documentary maker. The head coach of England's rugby union team. These are just some of the creative minds who have actively shaped the thinking of South Sydney coach Anthony Seibold.

"Let me tell you the story of Kannon Rajah.
If you don’t know him, he’s an old Sydney High student who has gone on to become one of the most successful fashion directors going around. He’s run the Victoria’s Secret runway event and pretty much every major fashion show around the world. Google him. It’s pretty impressive reading.
Kannon is a very creative bloke. We keep in touch all the time. He really challenges my thinking..."

Hmm. Victoria's Secret runway event. All righty then.
Everyone get set for a helluva ride, lol

Let's hope unlike Twent Barrett, Seibold has learnt from his mistakes from his time at the Broncos

Go Seibold, Go Manly!!

 

[jbb/james]

I must say i am not a fan of seibold recent attitude. Any appointent that doesn't start at least a week earlier than agreed upon is just not a go getter.

I'm happy to give the bloke a go.
Lets see how the team performs in 2023, before putting the boot in.
Maybe we needed a change, I mean the place has felt stale for a while and I personally like Des and what he has done at Manly in the past, but we seemed off the pace in gameplan and playing personel and from my take, Des had control of both these key area's.
We may all be pleasantly suprised in what 2023 brings, so I'm a fair way off the doomsdayer calls without a ball being kicked.

How about a pre-season fashion parade with all members of the Manly squad and executive team resplendent in Manly pride jerseys.

That should get everyone on the same page to start the season

People who spread false rumours online should face the full legal cosnequences so far as I'm concerned. It's an aspect of modern communications that has brought the cowards out of the woodwork.

 

[Red Pill]

It’s a fickle game. Wishing Anthony all the best.

A HUGE part of my assesment of Seibold will be his ability to attract players ...

Is he a drawcard ? ... or can he become one ?

Our players are anti-gay so any attraction will be put in the cupboard.

Good question, Woodsie. I'm guessing he no longer has the "Bright Young Thing" appeal of Craig Fitzgibbon or Cameron Ciraldo, but even if all he does is provide a little stability, it can't hurt. Right now, if I was an NRL player (or a player agent), Manly would not nee high on my list of preferred destinations.

The bigger question might be, will he be allowed to attract players? The biggest worry about Penn's "premiership-winning team" statement (aside from its ridiculousness) is that it indicates he thinks we don't need new players - that all the pieces we need are already there. And he ain't about to loosen the purse strings…

The NRL pays each club the full salary cap amount. Penn's not allowed to pay more even if he wanted to.

 

[John Nicholson]

The odds against Siebold are high.

It is a known fact that non ex-Manly coaches do not succeed at This Club!

Good Luck anyway.

And VIP tickets for all Silvertails members...

I'm thinking that might start with the players he can retain. If the word then gets around (as I'm assuming it does amongst the players) that a move here won't destroy their career and might even enhance it, then maybe.

Fortunately the NRL pays for the players , not Penn ..
