In Australian sport, the Manly Sea Eagles NRL club sacked head coach Anthony Seibold on Friday night and swiftly named former playmaker Kieran Foran as interim head coach for the rest of the season. Matt Ballin had earlier emerged as a shock contender for the top job, with supporters saying he was ready to step up despite the club also losing Ben Te’o during a turbulent week.
Australia was also dealing with severe weather on both coasts. Sydney’s beaches were battered by large swells on Saturday morning, with authorities urging people to stay out of the surf. On the other side of the continent, Tropical Cyclone Narelle tracked east of Kalbarri in Western Australia overnight, prompting live emergency coverage.
And in Melbourne, concertgoers who paid for a Wu-Tang Clan farewell show — billed as “all living members, together for the final time” — were left disappointed when four members failed to appear, with no explanation offered.
