Manly and New Zealand enforcer Martin Taupau has signed a two-year contract extension with the Sea Eagles through to 2022.

The 29-year-old has made 157 NRL appearances across 10 seasons, with the final four at Manly after two years at the Wests Tigers and four at the Bulldogs. He has made 24 Test appearances for New Zealand since 2014.

"This club means a lot to me, it's given me a lot of opportunities over the last couple of years," Taupau told the club's website.
"Yeah it is a very special feeling [at the club]. We all felt that as a team driving towards the finals [this year] but the way the boys have come back in the pre-season and the fact that we've kept the majority of our teammates, and the fact that we're developing our junior players coming through the ranks, is something special. Our fans have to be very excited for the next couple of years."

Taupau had been contracted until the end of the 2020 season, but follows fellow stars Tom and Jake Trbojevic in committing his future beyond next season to the club.

Great news! With Both our starting props locked away for a few years we are in a strong position prop wise. Kapow and AFB are the best starting prop combination in the comp in my eyes and I’m looking forward to them ripping in next year!!

Next year starts the new decade in which Manly win GF's in every decade since the 70"s. Would be nice to get it out of the way in the next 3 years.

Sadly Ch9 & Roosters ( adding in Souths / Parramatta) are some mountain to climb as they own the game and control who gets to win, as much as they can.

Know that Des [ like Bob Fulton used to ] likes big men and depth in his front row but retaining Marty certainly makes quite a list now . Admittedly guys like Paseka , Boyle , Keppie and even Marty for that matter can handle 2 nd row but there is already some decent depth there presently as well . Then there is this young Saddler and apparently Siona Fainu also showing promise as props . Competition for i st grade forward spots is going to be a given , not such a bad thing of course but a juggling act retaining all of the front row personal on shorter term contracts and presently on the books in the next few seasons seems inevitable . .
