Manly Sea Eagles release three football staff after missing finals
Summary

The Manly Sea Eagles have terminated the contracts of three football staff members following the club's failure to qualify for the NRL finals. Those departing include head of football Peter Gentle, NSW Cup coach Brett Kimmorley, and coaching development and leadership official Aaron Greaves. Manly concluded their season in ninth place on the ladder after falling two wins short of a finals berth. The coaching changes occur after the side finished last in the NSW Cup competition under Kimmorley, managing only two wins during the campaign. The club is currently navigating a period of internal transition as it seeks to secure its long-term future at Brookvale. These departures follow the team's recovery from a 0-3 start to the season under Kieran Foran, who briefly elevated the club into the top four before the late-season slide.
