Former Manly Sea Eagles head coach Des Hasler has reportedly reached out to current coach Anthony Seibold, sending a private message that has quickly sparked conversation across the NRL landscape.
Hasler, one of the most influential figures in Manly’s modern history, remains closely associated with the club following his successful stints that delivered premiership success and shaped a generation of Sea Eagles football. While the exact contents of the message have not been officially disclosed, sources suggest it was sent amid increasing scrutiny surrounding Manly’s recent performances and long-term direction.
Insiders indicate the message was supportive in tone, with Hasler believed to have offered words of encouragement and perspective to Seibold as the club navigates a challenging period both on and off the field. Others speculate the communication may have included broader reflections on leadership, pressure at Brookvale Oval, and the unique expectations that come with coaching the Sea Eagles.
Anthony Seibold, who took over the reins with the task of reshaping the club’s culture and competitiveness, has yet to publicly comment on the exchange. Manly officials have also declined to confirm details, fueling further intrigue among fans and pundits alike.
Hasler’s continued involvement—however informal—highlights the enduring connection he maintains with the club and reinforces the sense that Manly’s past and present remain closely intertwined.
Whether the message was simply a gesture of goodwill or something more substantial, it has added another layer to an already compelling Manly storyline.
