I have my doubts he'll be a first grader, but good luck to him... love a success story.
Yeah but I remember years ago we also thought Paseka was a lazy so and so.
Now look at him for manly
Well in fairness Manly signed Paseka in 2016, ahead of 2017, and he didn't debut until 2018. At the end of 2018 they extended him for another 3 seasons, so he's already on his second Manly deal. He got another extension in 2020, until end of 2024.
Paseka has played 64 matches in 4 seasons of first grade for Manly (average 16 per season) and only started 7 times (44 matches) in his first 3 seasons. He only became a regular starter in 2021. He did not play first grade in 2017.
Credit therefore to Manly to getting the kid to starting front row capability, but it took them 4 full seasons to achieve it. If I contrast that journey against someone like Stefano, I personally think Stefano is already at Paseka's level, if not better, and he's achieved that in less than 1 season.
Yep.
Paseka was coming off under 20s origin and got out of a big money deal at WT to go to Manly. Mavoni is doesn’t always make the starting team in Flegg.
He might make it, but he’ll need a good 3 years to get there. Maybe then we can sign him back when the dogs are in cap trouble.
