Josh Papali'i is determined to make his last weeks with the Raiders impactful, despite injury setbacks and the team's playoff struggles.
Josh Papali'i knows an emotional whirlwind is approaching, but that's only making him more determined to ensure his final few weeks in Canberra count.
The veteran forward will leave the Raiders at the end of the season, ending a glittering 15-year tenure which includes a 2019 NRL grand final appearance and Dally M Prop of the Year award in 2020.
However, the enforcer's final year hasn't gone to plan, with the most-capped Raider missing a large chunk of the campaign with a calf issue while watching his club's hopes of making finals dwindle.
With the Green Machine embarking on a tough final five-game run, which includes four clashes against four current top-eight sides, Papali'i knows the Raiders virtually have to win all of them to have a chance of making the finals.
