Josh Papalii expresses gratitude to Canberra and supporters for their loyalty throughout his challenging career.
"The club's been so loyal to me. If you think about what I've been through off-field, I probably should have been sacked 12 years ago."
On behalf of rugby league, a sincere front-rower's thanks to Canberra, Ricky Stuart and Don Furner for backing Josh Papalii.
And most of all, benedictions to Papalii himself - literally one of the biggest entertainers this game has seen.
