Seibold's gripes with the referee surfaced after his team squandered a 14-0 lead against the Eels.
In a classic tale of two halves, the Sea Eagles soared to an early advantage, only to have the wind knocked out of their sails as the Eels clawed their way back into the game.
The Eels, known for their never-say-die attitude, capitalized on the shift in momentum, scoring four of the next five tries to clinch a 28-24 victory.
In a flurry of action that would make even the most seasoned rugby league fan's heart race, the Eels rattled off a trio of four-pointers between the 12th and 43rd minute.
Seibold, no stranger to the ups and downs of the game, subtly suggested that the tides turned with the changing management of the game by referee Peter Gough.
While treading carefully with his words, Seibold alluded to a shift in calls and possession that favored the Eels, ultimately tipping the scales in their favor.
In the game of rugby league, momentum is a fickle beast that can make or break a team's fortunes.
For Seibold and his Sea Eagles, the loss serves as a reminder that in this unforgiving sport, a match can slip away in the blink of an eye.
As they regroup and dissect their performance, they'll need to lick their wounds and come back stronger in their next outing.
