No freaking way.
I don't care if Seibs breaks my heart by eloping with Boyd Cordner, he signed a deal and it should be honoured with a pay out if he gets the guillotine.
And the Broncos should suffer the consequences for signing an unproven coach with a fishy smell about him to such a long term deal.
He was sellling the "I'm an innovative thinker" persona by laying it on thick with his boom boxes, game sense approach, Harvard leadership course, oh and don't forget the think tank sessions with his fashion designer mate.
I mean who was buying that bullshit, seriously? Well I mean who apart from Paul White and Darren Lockyer.
So the Broncos need to pay the full price for their stupidity. And when it costs them millions to pay him out they must refrain eternally from whinging to the NRL about wanting a bigger yearly hand out.
A big element to this are Seibold's predecessors at Souths and Brisbane.
At Souths, he succeeded Madge. By all reports, Maguire's methods are brutal. Souths became stale with that approach. Seibold and Devlin seemed to re-invigorate the squad in 2018. Of course, since that season, Seibold has zero relationship with anyone at Souths given the way he left the club. To get him to break the contract, Broncos needed to offer a substantial carrot. He wasn't going to leave for a measly 2-3yr deal.
Brisbane had Wayne. The word is he is a real player's man. He sends them home early, he gives them days off, he protects them from the media and the club itself, and basically tells them to play 'eyes up'. Seibold and Devlin roll in mid pre-season for 2019 and implement their full-day work conditions, bring exercise book and pen to meetings, and tactical periodisation philosophy. It's so far removed, and considered a chore in comparison to Bennett's way.
Even though it's proven with the All Blacks and Eddie Jones with both Japan and England, as well as the big soccer coaches in Europe, is this tactical periodisation method suitable for a predominantly young squad who probably still need to consolidate the basic skills to play rugby league?
