The stakes are high. Sacrifices are to be made – if you\u2019re game. It ain\u2019t Denzel Washington in his famous Training Day rant, but it\u2019s two of the NRL\u2019s more adventurous tacticians.<\/p>\n

Cameron Ciraldo and Anthony Seibold have tried more tactics than most NRL coaches in the past few years, and with a two-month finals run kicking off in earnest, they\u2019ve both made season-defining calls with their most important players and positions.<\/p>\n

Seibold – who has tried rugby-esque kicking duels and emphasised high-risk, high-reward ball movement<\/a> at Manly – has shifted the once out-of-sorts Tom Trbojevic out of his favoured fullback role. The Sea Eagles campaign, and potentially the coach\u2019s own skin, will ride on this call during the next month.<\/p>\n
