Overview
- Manly confirmed on Tuesday that Kieran Foran has signed a three-year contract to be head coach through the end of the 2029 NRL season.
- Foran was promoted from caretaker after Anthony Seibold’s March exit and has led a rapid turnaround, winning seven of nine matches and moving Manly into the top five.
- The club has applied for an NRL concussion exemption for Tolu Koula after an independent doctor cleared him to return eight days after his Origin concussion.
- Former Sea Eagles coach Des Hasler has rejoined in an advisory role to mentor Foran while Foran retains full control of coaching decisions.
- Manly say locking in Foran will help them make retention and pathway choices ahead of a large group of players who face 2027 contract decisions and while they manage Tom Trbojevic’s hamstring absence.
