In a moment that sent shockwaves of joy through Brookvale Oval, the Northern Beaches, and the wider National Rugby League community, Manly Sea Eagles head coach Anthony Seibold has officially confirmed that club icon Steve “Beaver” Menzies is returning home.

The legendary second-row forward, universally adored by Manly fans, is set to rejoin the Sea Eagles not as a player, but in a senior coaching and mentoring capacity, working closely with the club’s football department and first-grade squad.

Speaking with pride and emotion, Seibold described the move as “bringing Manly DNA back into the building.” He highlighted Menzies’ unmatched loyalty, professionalism, and deep understanding of what it truly means to wear the Sea Eagles jersey.

For the Manly faithful, this announcement feels like destiny fulfilled. Beaver isn’t just a former star — he is the heartbeat of the club, a one-club man whose name still echoes around Brookvale whenever effort, courage, and loyalty are mentioned. His return is seen as a powerful bridge between Manly’s proud history and its ambitious future.

Players are already buzzing about the chance to learn from one of the greatest back-rowers the game has ever seen, while fans have flooded social media with messages calling it “a masterstroke” and “the most Manly move possible.”

This isn’t just a reunion.

It’s a statement.

Manly is embracing its identity again.

With Steve “Beaver” Menzies back inside the walls, the Sea Eagles aren’t just chasing wins — they’re restoring belief, culture, and the spirit that made the club feared and respected across the NRL.
