Jesus my immediate response to the rumour was “bullshit”. Just too insane to be true.

But then it kept coming and got messier and messier.... would explain a lot....

They could’ve fired him a long time ago if it was true. I still have my doubts. As you said, it’s just too insane.

I just read the rumours.

As farfetched as it might seem, this is the NRL and plenty of crazy shit happens. It’s the gift that keeps giving.

If the rumours are true, yikes.

Usually a family situation would make it into the media, some way or another. Seems the media is pretty quiet on this one due to possible defamation cases. These rumours are so wild that I can't work out how someone could come up with it.

Those of you that have seen the screenshot of the whatsapp convo. WOW.

Edit: I have seen similar rumours - one being whatsapp screenshots and the other being facebook messages. Both fairly different but the same core.

Hopefully the part where it's affected his family so badly are false. The rest of it is gold.

According to Buzz, Seibold has contacted QLD police and social media lawyers.

This shit is getting spicier by the minute

Brisbane Broncos coach Anthony Seibold calls police over vicious rumours

Embattled Broncos coach Anthony Seibold has called in police to investigate slanderous posts on social media about his personal life.

Seibold has hired Brisbane legal firm Howden Saggers, who issued the following statement on Tuesday night, confirming police action.

“This statement is to address the allegations which have been recently made in relation to Brisbane Broncos Coach, Anthony Seibold in the last twenty-four hours,” it read.

“Due to the allegations which have circulated online and in other forums, Mr. Seibold has engaged Dave Garratt of Howden Saggers Lawyers to act on his behalf.

“At the appropriate time, this matter will be reported to the Queensland Police Service and other appropriate authorities for their consideration.

“Given the nature of these matters both personal and legal, no further comment will be made until such time as it has been considered by the Queensland Police Service and other appropriate authorities.”

Seibold is living in his home in Brisbane for two weeks in isolation.

He stayed in Sydney after the Broncos’ game against South Sydney last Friday night to attend to an urgent family matter.

Kind of hope these rumours to be true just to justify our season. Highly doubt it though, the screenshot I was sent last night was from back in Mid-July. Story would have been printed by now.
