The NRL community has been shaken today after the **Manly Sea Eagles** released an urgent statement confirming that Head Coach **Anthony Seibold** has been **forced to temporarily step away from the team** due to a **serious private family matter**.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The announcement came unexpectedly early this morning, sending shockwaves through players, staff, and supporters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to club officials, Seibold informed the team late last night, visibly emotional, explaining that he needed to place **family before football** during this difficult period.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A senior Manly representative stated:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
> **\u201cAnthony has the full support of our club. His family comes first. We ask fans and the media to respect his privacy during this heartbreaking time.\u201d**<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Players were reportedly stunned by the news, with several described as **\u201cvisibly shaken\u201d**, and training was paused while the leadership group addressed the squad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
