If seibs can implement a defensive line that moves up with speed, that already is a big positive. Cmon 2019!
An inside look at how Anthony Seibold revolutionised the South Sydney Rabbitohs attack

The teacher who never stops learning
HOWLER: King Gutho’s horror show
“I had notes under those areas,” Seibold said. “But those were the three principles I wrote down about how we can be more effective in attack. I didn’t see any point in complicating things but they were the principles on how we can create, apply and capitalise on pressure.
“I had a good sit down and had a look at what I would call our game model and what we wanted it to look like. I wanted it to look at how we build pressure and we play with effort. “That was the language I used with the players and coaching staff. We then had a look at what that means for attack, defence and what it means from transition.
“The pre-season was very different from an attacking point of view. We had to start from a blank piece of paper.”
South Sydney never evolved from the power game which brought with it a historic 2014 premiership win. After failing to make the finals for the past two seasons, Seibold instigated a much needed shake up.
He said they spent 73 per cent of pre-season training doing football related drills. Their spine — along with Seibold — did private coaching sessions with Matty Johns once a week for seven weeks during the summer. Seibold still talks to Johns weekly.
Their pre-season focus was about pitting against each other with ball in hand.
“We did loads of scenario and situation based drills always with footy in hand and always keeping the score,” Seibold said.
“There was always a competition and a clock. We tried to replicate game scenarios. One thing we’ve tried to do is train above game speed.
“That’s the biggest difference. We aren’t on the park as long as they have been used to but we are training with a lot more intensity.
“The GPS data is through the roof in comparison to the previous data.”

Seibold’s scientific approach has already borne fruit.
After establishing his core principles, Seibold went about implementing his coaching philosophies. The qualified schoolteacher did that by breaking down the three principles and giving players a direct focus.
“We had to strip things back,” Seibold said. “If you start day one of pre-season (saying all this) they will look at your blankly. We had to break it down and have a narrow focus
“First focus was creating quicker play the balls to give our halves and our key ball players time. The second thing we looked at was off the back off quick play the balls was trying to get our players in one on one or two on two tackles instead of three on one and we need our halves and ball players to have the hands on the footy more.”
“Third one was capitalise once we’ve stretched the defence, we need to capitalise and shift the ball more.”
Seibold has stayed true to his word with the likes of Cody Walker, Alex Johnston and Damien Cook thriving. Walker is touching the ball a whopping 14 more times per game while halfback Adam Reynolds touches are up by nine. Fox Sports Lab statistics also reveal the Rabbitohs are scoring five more points per game and have the most line breaks of any club heading into round 10.

Reynolds is averaging nine more touches per game.
Despite being more adventurous with the football, they are completing one per cent better than they did last year.
“I’m comfortable with the way we’ve improved but I’m not content,” Seibold said. “Like I keep talking to the guys, ‘little things become big things. Keep being mindful. If we get loose with anything we’re trying to do regarding out standards, then you’ll get what you deserve on game day’.
“The next area we have to get better in is being a bit more ruthless. There have been times we’ve had an opportunity to put the foot on the throat.
“We have a big test against the No. 1 team the Dragons. They suffocated us a few weeks ago and we are under no illusion they are the benchmark.”

I'd say he can!

Anyone got any pics of Seibold's first day at training?
 
Lets hope this is a real changing of the guard. It has been time to move on from Bennett for a little while IMO but the club couldn't help but going back to him. Now is the time for the club to stand out on it's own two feet and be the biggest and best club in the land.

Good luck Anthony Siebold. You've got plenty of talent at your disposal and all the resources you could ask for.

All banter aside, you back on board with the Broncos mate? Would be nice to have you back on a permanent basis, I'm sure others would agree.
 
Did he even go home after the fight though?
Yes he said he was in Sydney watching the new Grinch movie (Starring uncle Benny) with his kids when he learned of the sacking.
 
That was reported a couple of weeks ago, they're good pick-ups. I posted Gentle's resume in another thread, but he's one of the most experienced assistants in the game.

Must admit I'd never heard of the bloke but that's a pretty fair resume/chunk of experience there. Be interested to see what he can bring.
 
Just watched a couple of clips of Seibs at training today.
He looks like a man in charge, whilst Fox sports reporters stated the intensity was much higher then what the Broncos at this time of year are use to. He was punishing players with push ups also apparently./
He had a whistle in hand and was using it - it didn't look like he was mucking around.
This might just be the pre-season that some of the boys need to kick into gear.

I liked what I saw from the few short clips..

Just what I was hoping to hear/see from Seibs. Get the players out of their comfort zone and really freshen up their training regime. Maybe he is a bit of a hard ass coach, but in my thoughts that is something the players might have been lacking these past few years. Can't treat em with kid gloves all the time.

Wasn't that Bennett that was at the movies? Which is why he didn't answer the phone?

You take the back or I’m telling Wayn...oh.

No mate, Wayne was with his son Justin over at Southbank apparently and didn't have his phone with him or it was switched off. He checked when he got home and saw the news on social media apparently.
 
Interestingly Seibold named Su'A & Fifita as the 2 players he's most excited to coach in his interview with Dobbo on 9 news tonight. Not sure what that means for Glenn & Gillett short / long-term.

I second this.

Well he also said Gillett was one that he was looking foward to working with out of the older guys along with Boud and Macca so I don’t think Gillo will be to threatened

Maybe it’s more so because Glenn and gillet are towards the end of their careers and seibs sees more opportunities to shape the young players to his style of play.
 
Probably not a good sign for Glenn though. Gillett is one of the best in the world and guaranteed a spot if fit. We probably will only need 3 second rowers though (2 starters and 1 bench obviously). Glenn might only come in for injuries and Origin.

He is a fantastic coach, what he did with wests and gp6 was brilliant. They were always well disciplined and absolute granite on field.

Nope. he was spending some quality time with his son Justin so he left his phone at home.
