Recruitment & Retention 2027

You think Seibold is well ahead of Flanno? lol Based on what? lol
Seibold's first season coaching Manly was 2023, this is now his 4th year as coach and they don't look to be improving or have anything to look forward to. Manly have recruited Brooks and Fogerty with Seibold as coach. I am struggling to name any other players they have recruited with Seibold as coach. Can you imagine this forum if we recruited Luke Brooks? lol Their recruitment has been very poor since Seibold took over and they are located in one of the most attractive locations in Australia. Some call it God's country. I think we will be much better positioned next year than Manly currently are or will be next year. Manly are just better located than us. Seibold and Payten are currently the 2 favourites to be the first coach sacked this year. I think Manly fans wish they got Flanno instead of Seibold. I keep saying, wait until next year for us to bear fruit. We should have Reed and Acko as our halves by then, with Kyle not there. We will also have Koloamatangi as one of our prop. I bet Manly would love to have him coming to them next year. I would take Acko over Fogerty. We still need some more good signings. I keep saying Jenkins would be a good signing. Now that he is playing so well and looks to have secured a permanent position at Penrith, he may be harder to get. I would be seeing if Souths would be interested in releasing Graham and if he would be interested in signing with us. Maybe with Cook, Sua and Koloamatangi here, that could help us get Graham?

BTW Today, I asked my mate who is a Wests fan what he thinks of Bula and he was so so about him, but said he wasn't worth big money, certainly not 800K or 900K. I think he wants better than Bula.
Only a little thing called, winning % over the last 2 years. lol

Must say Ennis meeting for coffee with Turbo last monday is making more sense now..

I doubt the Eagles would throw the head reigns his way so early.. ppl r saying Ballin will get it.. but I do wonder how long he is going to stay an assistant with Flanno, surely he's not learning that much.

There is nothing to say a different coach would have had us winning over the last 2 years. We weren't winning long before Flanno took over. We will be in a better position next year, than when he or Griffin took over.
We kept saying the same thing about hook and Mcpeanut. How long should it take im sick of this rebuild shit. The same old excuses “we will be better next year” Ok so we are getting KK what’s he going to do with the style of game we play. Excuses like the COE, location .money, it’s just crap 15 years we have been waiting for this magical rebuild. The board and owners are to blame for this fiasco. Sure Flanno won a comp,different era and a way different side. The game is not played like that anymore,like it or not you have to adapt to Vlandys ball. This theory about young coaches, well Bellamy and Bennett have adapted plus this nonsense of making KF look like an immortal. Speed and agility that’s the name of the game,the lumbering boofhead style is GONE,so get with the program or move on. I”m not waiting for another coach to instill his ridiculous style of play that doesn’t stack up.
