Congratulations to Josh Feledy on gaining selection for Papua New Guinea for the 2026 Rugby League World Cup.
Feledy is coming off his best season yet in the NRL and his first season as a Manly player.
The 22-year-old made 12 appearances in the top grade in 2026, split evenly as a starting centre and off the interchange.
His first try in Manly colours was part of a 15-minute hat-trick in the Sea Eagles’ 44-24 victory against the Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium in Round 25.
Josh has a strong family connection to Papua New Guinea and is eager to represent his PNG heritage for the first time. His mother was born in Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province, and his grandfather was also born in PNG.
