Taniela Paseka

7th Tackle: Sea Eagles poach 200cm man mountain from Tigers

At last count he measured 200cm tall - not far shy of LeBron James. That probably makes 19-year-old Taniela Paseka the tallest player in the NRL, and now he'll be scraping the skies above Brookvale.

Manly has poached Paseka from Wests Tigers, who granted the local junior an immediate release from his two-year contract this week.

A devout Mormon, Paseka joined the Tigers' Top 25 squad this year and has been a stand-out for their otherwise disappointing Holden Cup side over the opening month.

Paseka is the second impressive youngster to join Manly mid-contract in the past few months.


Gold Coast defector Brian Kelly has been sensational in his first month of NRL footy and is our early favourite for Rookie of the Year honours.
Great news but I'll still trust the word of Hgbcds, on recommendation, over massoud and that other flea.
 
Why is it that every other team are always reported as recruiting players from other teams whilst Manly always is reported as poaching players?

You watch, the Bulldogs could possibly get Woods, Tedesco, Moses and Brooks all in one go, and all will be forgotten by next season, yet the rugby league world just can't seem to get over on how we took O'neil and Branighan from Souths, and later on,Boyd, Brown and Dorahy from Wests.
