Peters has been touted as contender to replace Adam O’Brien as head coach, along with Blake Green, Justin Holbrook and Dean Young. Newcastle asked Peters to apply but the 46-year-old is happy to bide his time and keep developing his skills.

Though he spent time in the Hunter as an assistant coach between 2020-22, Peters does not want NRL speculation to disrupt his efforts in England. He has made some tough calls at the club in terms of the roster and now has them fying high on top of the Super League ladder.
Meanwhile, still on Manly, Seibold confirmed Joey Walsh would debut off the bench on Friday and spend time in the halves with Daly Cherry-Evans whose No.7 jersey he will one day own.
“I feel like Joey has been our best player in second grade, he’s only 19, and I wanted to give him an opportunity to play the back end of the game in the halves with ‘Chez’; it’s a good reward for him, and gets him keen for pre-season,” Seibold said.
“He started the year eligible for SG Ball, and he’ll finish the year playing 10 to 15 minutes in first grade.”
