Julie Sibraa echoed that sentiment, saying the decision was “unanimously supported by the Board and deeply connected to the club’s culture, identity, and commitment to success.”
Seibold’s Major Announcement
Head coach Anthony Seibold, standing alongside King and Sibraa, delivered the news that has instantly set social media alight and energized the fan base:
Sea Eagles legend Steve “Beaver” Menzies Tapine has been appointed to a major new role within the club.
While full details of the position are expected to be revealed in a formal announcement later this week, early indications suggest Menzies Tapine will take on a high-influence leadership role—likely involving player development, culture, mentoring, or strategic football operations.

Rugby league commentators and former players have universally celebrated the move, noting that Menzies Tapine’s leadership and experience could offer a fresh spark to the team’s performance and morale.
What Comes Next
The Sea Eagles will release a full briefing on Menzies Tapine’s new role in the coming days, but today’s announcement has already reset the tone for the club’s 2025 season campaign.
As CEO Jason King put it:
“This is about bringing the heart of Manly back to the centre of everything we do.”
One thing is clear: excitement is back at Brookvale, and the Sea Eagles community is ready for the next chapter.
