Manly fans may have got a glimpse of the future in Saturday night's 26-18 win over the Titans.Marty Taupau was a late withdrawal due to COVID protocols - and the big forward is unlikely to be at Brookvale in 2023 so this was a test for the Eagles pack.Up stepped Taniela Paseka, a youngster whose form tends to be up and down over a long season.But handed the responsibility of leading the Manly forwards against the strong Titans pack, Paseka was superb, running for 180 metres with four tackle breaks.The sky is the limit for the tall forward - he just needs to produce more consistency and maybe Taupau's departure in 2023 will be the making of him.
