It's March 30, Sydney news today starts now, AI powered and ready, I'm Cory with the story. Manly Sea Eagles just fired Coach Anthony Seabold after only three straight losses to start the NRL season. Star recruit Jamal Fogarty, who came over from Canberra, called to move Harsh and said the power brokers should have given him more time with 21. Games still left. Fogarty made it clear, Seabold was the main reason he joined the club, but now the coach is gone just three games in. He pointed out the players dropped the ball too, missing tackles and knocking on, not just the coach out there struggling. Players are owning up to their part. Captain Tom Trebojavitch called Seabold to apologize for the poor starts and the rough end to his time. Manly's no stranger to slow beginnings. They lost their first four in 2021, but made the preliminary final anyway. Fogarty even checked with Seabold's wife before reaching out to him. Now Kear and Foran steps in as Interim head coach, facing the dolphins on Thursday 9.

The team's got plenty of runway to flip this script, and with vets like Fogarty stepping up, eyes are on whether they can rally like before and chase. That turn around.
