Anthony Seibold's coaching position is secure for now, but pressure mounts following two losses; a bad home match could change that.
Anthony Seibold remains safe in his role as head coach of the Manly Sea Eagles, but a loss in their next home match against the Roosters could build the pressure on him to an all-time high.
One of two NRL coaches currently in the firing line (the other being Cowboys coach Todd Payten), there have been growing calls from fans for Seibold to be sacked after back-to-back defeats to begin the season.
After a messy 2025, which saw the departures of club captain Daly Cherry-Evans and CEO Tony Mestrov, the Sea Eagles are once again back in the news cycle for all the wrong reasons.
Despite having a roster built of State of Origin and international representatives such as Tom Trbojevic, Tolu Koula and Haumole Olaka'atu, they have been unable to translate this to success on the field, having gone down to the Raiders and last year's wooden spooners, Newcastle.
Speaking on NRL 360, Code Sports' David Riccio stated that Seibold remains safe in the head coaching role for now, but needs to turn things around quickly.
