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.
