Coach of the Year

[Mickie Lane]

If Reynolds & the Burgess boys stay fit they will win the comp.
They are the best balanced team in the comp & Seibold has a real old school type personality that players respond to.

[HEGtheROOSTER]

There’s always been positive talk about Siebold as a coach wherever he’s been....

Souffs looking good at the moment, but on last night’s game:
I thought the Sharks came out looking like a team that thought they were good things to win, whereas I thought the Bunnies came out looking like a team that thought they all had to play extra well to make up for the players they were missing...

[Waerea-Beast!]

A big reason souffs are doing so well is the Burgess dropped ball penalties have returned. Added to that they don't ever seem to need to back the 10 and are allowed to go early. Also experts at walking off the mark in order to take markers out of play.

Basically they are benefitting greatly from the way the game is being 'managed' this year.

The vermin are doing well in part................ to the way the game managers are seeing things this year. They'd probably be winning under Maguire as well.

And that’s exactly how they got their win in 2014.

the game managers won them that title plain and simple. Don’t get me wrong, they won the GF pretty much fair and square and didn’t need a lot of management intervention to help but it sure did help them throughout the season in getting to the GF.

[Ivan Benko]

Maybe if Robinson learnt from the way they play with their backline lined out at an angle instead of flat like we play,giving their backs and even their forwards more time and room to pass and receive the ball,than it might be worthwhile.

[Tommy Smith]

Credit to Seibold.

He's coached up a very skillful footy team that put together slick backline movements.

They don't have more talent than us but they're clearly better coached in attack because in comparison we can barely string three passes together without dropping the ball... and it's been that way for about 4 years.

Daniel Anderson was. Not saying he wasn't a deserving winner, but Sticky overcame a huge injury toll early in the season and went on to win the comp, a comp that the Roosters hadn't been able to win for 27 long, long, long .... long, long, long, years.

One hell of a lot of that had to do with the late Graham Murray's building of the team.

[Tommy Smith]

And also Brad Fittler.

But Sticky deserves a lot of credit for turning a powderpuff forward pack under Murray in 2000-2001 into one of the most fearsome of the NRL era.

The Bondi Wall was built by Sticky, not Murray. We were soft and leaked lots of points under Murray.

Seabold is scum just like the club he coaches.

Don’t go jumping on any bandwagons.

[Kingbilly]

He has blood on his hands. He has that sum of a team running great structures it was impressive.

But I was very amused that they could not put many points on a terrible Sharks team. They should have put 50 on them but only just won

[Johnny Brass]

One thing seibold is benefiting from is Madge blooding a lot of youngsters last year and giving them a crack at first grade. His got the bunnies playing a good brand of footy and the Burgess boys are making inroads which they are playing off the back of.
