Many see this move as a strategic effort to strengthen the organization’s administration while honoring the legacy of one of its most iconic figures.

Steve Menzies himself shared his thoughts on the new role: “Manly has always been a huge part of my life. To return in this capacity and contribute to the club’s future is an incredible opportunity. I look forward to working with the team, the players, and our amazing fans to continue building something special.”

With the 2025 season approaching, the Sea Eagles are poised to enter a transformative period. Menzies’ return promises a blend of tradition and innovation, as the club seeks to leverage his legendary status and leadership skills to achieve new heights both on and off the field.
