The details are Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold is managed by Isaac Moses. Moses additionally negotiated the offers for Seibold’s assistant coaches Shane Flanagan and Jim Dymock to land on the northern seashores.
Moses additionally did the deal for Manly’s new head of recruitment Peter Gentle – one among rugby league’s real good guys.
These are the actual numbers the remainder of the rugby league world is throughout – not the Sea Eagles leg spin designed to center stump everybody.
When Seibold initially signed on the Manly in November final yr, the Sea Eagles solely had one Moses shopper on their books in Ethan Bullemor.
Yet within the 9 months since out of the eight gamers the Sea Eagles have signed – six have been Moses purchasers.
Aaron Woods, Matt Lodge, Ben Condon, Cooper Johns, Luke Brooks and Tommy Talau have all joined or are set to hitch Manly since Seibold’s arrival.
Seibold has apparently cracked it after the historical past of Moses’s involvement at a number of NRL golf equipment was unpacked on Triple M’s Sunday Sin Bin over the weekend.
The Brisbane Broncos, New Zealand Warriors, Wests Tigers and Parramatta had been used as examples of golf equipment the place Moses has beforehand been capable of achieve enormous affect over the roster.
The Broncos acquired the membership’s first-ever wood spoon beneath the tutelage of Seibold in 2020 with a number of Moses purchasers on the Red Hill membership’s roster.
So whereas Manly try to smother Moses ever-increasing affect on the Sea Eagles, the reality is the numbers don’t lie.

Mario Tartak’s Crown Sports International ranks first together with Daniel O’Louglin’s Wasserman, each with seven gamers on the Sea Eagles.

Once you begin to unpack all of the ins and outs there’s a really clear sample that’s emerged on the northern seashores since Seibold was signed as Manly coach.
Oh – and one other factor – each NRL membership has a prime 30 record of gamers, not 39.
Manly have conveniently included six growth gamers and three practice and trial gamers to the Sea Eagles record for causes unknown.
Why the Sea Eagles felt it vital to place out a media launch about that is anybody’s guess.
Talk about leaping at shadows. Here’s a thought. Maybe deal with profitable some video games and making an attempt to make a late run at taking part in finals.

Plus the coach, plus one of many assistant coaches, plus the top of recruitment, plus most likely one other assistant coach.
They can spin all of it they like however Manly can’t manipulate these numbers.
