Manly's Taniela Paseka aims for a NSW State of Origin debut after recovering from an Achilles injury.
Manly forward Taniela Paseka has set his sights on a NSW State of Origin debut as he looks to make an immediate impact in his return from an Achilles rupture.
The 28-year-old suffered the season-ending injury in Round 3 last year and has spent the past 11 months slowly working back to full fitness.
Paseka reached a major milestone when he lined up in Manly's final Witzer Pre-Season Challenge clash and hopes to make a successful start to the season against the Raiders on Saturday night.
