MANLY is on the verge of making their biggest signing this year — literally.

Foxsports.com.au can reveal Wests Tigers powerhouse Taniela Paseka is poised to leave Concord to join Trent Barrett’s Sea Eagles.

Not only big but powerful, Paseka is a giant human.

Tipping the scales at 124 kilograms and standing at 199 centimetres tall, the 19-year-old Liverpool junior was the youngest member of the Wests Tigers’ fulltime squad.

Round 19

But having been overlooked for first grade for several weeks, a host of NRL clubs were lining up for Paseka.

Playing Origin for NSW in the under 20s at the age of 18, the front rower is ready to make an impact in first grade.

Regarded as one of the best forwards in the NYC, Paseka is in the process of being granted a release from the Tigers to sign a two-year deal with the Sea Eagles with immediate effect.

While their front row shortage is about to be fixed with Lloyd Perrett (cheekbone) and Darcy Lussick (wrist) returning to the field, Paseka will be added to that list as soon as next week.

He could feature in the NRL as soon as round seven.

Paseka is the latest in a string of signings the club has made after snaring Brian Kelly from the Titans and former Tiger Curtis Sironen.

Scoring five tries in the 20s last season, Paseka made 74 tackle breaks, and 2411 metres in his 22 games.

The prop was also voted the Tigers’ Holden Cup player of the year and player’s player in 2016.
