Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3652653, member: 1899"] The game was already heading in that direction and Seibold had enough experience with the team to realise he needed to change tact. In fairness to Seibold, I don't think it was just the six again system that affected him. Not only did he have a horrific injury toll to contend with and a few player indiscretions to deal with but the NRL made further changes. They brought the competition back, but didn't include a reserve grade so the junior players had limited opportunities to get some reps in. The entire draw was changed, so the Broncos went from playing the Titans to the Eels. It went back to a one referee system and the 10m suffered as a result. Teams that realised they could leave the line early benefitted. I also think there was mixed messaging when it came to the resumption of the competition. It seemed like the Broncos were under the impression that the competition was going to start up later than it was. So I think 'they changed it to six again and it disadvantaged us' doesn't quite cover it. Still, Seibs had enough bad moments that I was happy to say he wasn't the right fit. All the best to him at Manly, they seem made for one another. [/QUOTE]
