Manly Sea Eagles Release A Statement About A Statement Which May Or May Not Be Coming

The Manly Sea Eagles have released a statement intended to clear up speculation about reports that head coach Trent Barrett has quit.

After weeks of rumours, news broke last night that Barrett had tendered his resignation effective at the end of the season.

The Sea Eagles' statement, though, doesn't actually state much.

"The Club is addressing the matters which have been the subject of recent public speculation in relation to its Head Coach, Trent Barrett, and does not intend to make any further statement at this time," it reads.

"The Club's focus remains on ensuring the best possible finish to the 2018 NRL season on behalf of its playing group, members, fans, corporate partners, owners and its community at large.

"A full statement will be made at the appropriate time."

Stay tuned.
