The Canberra Raiders are set to hand forward Joseph Tapine a monster contract in a bid to lock up the Kiwi international before November 1 rolls around.
Tapine is a short-priced favourite to be one of the Dally M Prop of the Year recipients later this season, sounding alarms to rival clubs with just under three months until they can offer the front-rower a contract for 2024.
Fox Sports is reporting that the Raiders will offer the former Knight a whopping $3 million, four-year deal, which would tie the New Zealander to the nations capital through to the end of the 2027 season.
