Seibold will be offered a three-year deal as head coach, and Flanagan and Dymock will be sidekicks for the former Rabbitohs and Broncos mentor.

The 56-year-old resigned in early 2019 after being banned for a second time by the NRL.
Flanagan was deregistered by the NRL in December 2018 for breaching the terms of his 2014 supplements scandal ban. He was not meant to have contact with the club during that year, but was proven to have repeatedly done so.
If the Manly deal is confirmed, he will be the second premiership-winning head coach of the past decade to secure a new job for 2023, with Michael Maguire on Tuesday announced as a consultant for Ricky Stuart in Canberra.
Dymock was interim head coach of the Bulldogs in 2011 following the sacking of Kevin Moore.
He was an assistant to Justin Holbrook at the Titans in his most recent role, with the former playmaker being dumped on the back of a mid-season review.
