The Manly Sea Eagles<\/a> have confirmed the re-signing of former premiership-winning forward Siosiua Taukeiaho<\/a> on a one-year extension for the 2026 NRL<\/a> season.<\/p>\n

The prop joined Manly ahead of 2025 after a short stint in the English Super League<\/a> during 2023 and 2024, where he played for the Catalans Dragons<\/a>, but was eventually axed by the club.<\/p>\n

The prop was formerly one of the best in the NRL<\/a>, playing for the ever successful Sydney Roosters<\/a> outfit during a period where they were in a constant pursuit of the top of the ladder.<\/p>\n

Taukeiaho has won two premierships, and had a strong 2025 season despite now being at the back-end of his career, making well over 100 metres per game across 21 appearances.<\/p>\n

\u201cSiua was tremendous for the team in his first year back in the NRL<\/a>,\u201d head coach Anthony Seibold<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEffort after effort and just so consistent with his performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of injuries to our middles last season so Siua’s contribution to the team became even more important.<\/p>\n

“He’s one of our leaders who shows the way week in week out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s great for the Club to have Siua on deck for another season.\u201d<\/p>\n

The prop will again be a major part of Manly’s engine room for 2026, with Taniela Paseka<\/a> also expected back on deck, and the duo likely to form the starting front row combination.<\/p>\n

Other players will need to step up with Josh Aloiai<\/a> to medically retire, and Toafofoa Sipley<\/a> heading to England<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taukeiaho said he was keen for the future at Manly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m really happy to have signed on at Manly for another year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a terrific a group we’ve got here, both players and staff, and I think the future looks bright.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve enjoyed the break, my body feels good, so pre-season here we come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Manly Sea Eagles have confirmed the re-signing of former premiership-winning forward Siosiua Taukeiaho on a one-year extension…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":81173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-290205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
