The disagreement escalated behind closed doors, culminating in Seibold issuing a short, pointed statement: \u201cI\u2019ve made it clear I can\u2019t take this any further,\u201d before storming out of a boardroom meeting at Brookvale Oval.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Word around the club is that Seibold feels undercut by the GM&#8217;s alleged interference in team selections and personnel strategy. With the Sea Eagles languishing outside the top eight, frustration on both sides has reportedly reached a boiling point.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Club CEO Mestrov is said to be \u201cdisappointed but resolute,\u201d believing the rift is irreparable. Seibold, who remains under contract through 2027, is expected to front the media tomorrow. Rumours swirl over potential successors\u2014possibly assistant coach Michael Ennis or even a high-profile figure like Josh Hannay.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For now, the Sea Eagles enter a dramatic and uncertain chapter: a club in flux, fractured leadership\u2014and a coach set to walk away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size:
