The Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles’ 2025 NRL season was a frustrating one of inconsistency and missed opportunities, finishing 10th on the ladder and narrowly missing finals despite a strong attacking start and flashes of brilliance. Under Anthony Seibold, the team suffered a heavy forward injury toll and off-field drama surrounding captain Daly Cherry-Evans’ farewell year, leading to patchy form and costly losses to lower sides. Centre Tolutau Koula starred, claiming the Roy Bull Best and Fairest as Player of the Year plus Players’ Player, while recruit Siua Taukei’aho earned the Manly Mentality award for his consistent effort—but the Sea Eagles fell short of expectations, setting up a rebuild without Cherry-Evans in 2026.
