Manly reject Raiders enquiry for Taniela Paseka

Manly have rejected an enquiry from Canberra about prop Taniela Paseka, who is contracted until the end of 2029.

Manly are open to moving on Luke Brooks and Ethan Bullemor but want to keep Paseka. North Queensland and a Sydney-based club are monitoring Raiders winger Xavier Savage, who is contracted until the end of 2027 and scored 13 tries in 19 games this season.
