In a move that's got the fans buzzing, the Manly Sea Eagles have locked in Australian Schoolboy star, Simione Laiafi, to their Top 30 squad for the upcoming 2026 season.
Being compared to the likes of Payne Haas, Laiafi has made waves as a front-rower and has already represented the prestigious Australian Schoolboys team, as well as the NSW U17s squad.
Starting off in the SG Ball Cup, Laiafi has shown his skills in the Jersey Flegg Cup and has quickly become one of the brightest young talents at the Sea Eagles.
After his standout performances, the Sea Eagles have secured his services for the next few years, ensuring he continues to grow and develop within the club's ranks.
Fans can expect to see Laiafi make his mark on the development list next year before making his way onto the Top 30 roster for the 2026 NRL season.
It's an exciting time for the club, with Laiafi set to bring some serious firepower to the squad.
