- Biography:
Taniela Paseka will be looking to further build on his game after experiencing one of his best seasons in 2024 that led to him making his Test debut for Tonga.
A giant of a man, Paseka established himself as the main enforcer of the Sea Eagles pack with his powerful runs and strong defence.
He will be looking to work in tandem again with fellow props Siua Taukei'aho, Josh Aloiai and Toff Sipley to name a few.
Off the field, Paseka is a devoted family man and one of seven siblings.
Paseka is signed at Manly until the end of 2026.
