More than half of the Manly Sea Eagles’ likely run on side for the 2026 campaign will be considered part of the club’s leadership group<\/p>\n

Coach Anthony Seibold<\/a> unveiled his leadership team on Friday, with previously confirmed captain Tom Trbojevic<\/a> – who is taking over from Daly Cherry-Evans<\/a> – to be joined by a host of experienced names.<\/p>\n

Jake Trbojevic<\/a> and Haumole Olakau’atu<\/a> will continue as club vice-captains, while Luke Brooks<\/a>, Siosiua Taukeiaho<\/a> and Jamal Fogarty<\/a> – who joined during the off-season from the Canberra Raiders<\/a> – are also included.<\/p>\n

Maybe more intriguingly, Reuben Garrick<\/a>, who has already confirmed he will leave the club at the end of 2026 to join the Sydney Roosters<\/a>, is also part of the club’s leaders.<\/p>\n

All up, the seven have played 1240 NRL<\/a> games between them, and Seibold said there were plenty of reasons the seven players had been selected as leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all have a wealth of experience, but it’s more than that,\u201d said Seibold.<\/p>\n

“They all live by their actions, day in day out.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertain positions, like Turbo at fullback and Jamal at halfback, need to lead through their voice as well and they both have the capacity and ability to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Captain Trbojevic – who was announced a number of weeks ago – will skipper his first game for the club against the Canberra Raiders<\/a> at home on March 7.<\/p>\n

Manly have also confirmed their players will break for Christmas on December 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than half of the Manly Sea Eagles’ likely run on side for the 2026 campaign will be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-328980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=328980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=328980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=328980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
