- Biography:
A proud Manly junior, Lehi Hopoate will be looking to continue his rapid development after being voted Manly Members’ Player of the Year in 2025.
An agile and deceptively strong outside back, Lehi split his time equally last season between fullback and wing, scoring eight tries from 22 games and averaging 176 run-metres per match.
Lehi has risen through the Sea Eagles Pathways program after joining the club at the age of 12 and attended high school across the road from 4 Pines Park at St Augustine’s College at Brookvale.
Lehi’s father John won a premiership with Manly in 1996 as did his older brother, William, in 2011.
