Josh Papali'i has had one of the best seasons of his 14-year NRL career, returning to the QLD Maroons side, winning State of Origin, playing for the ladder-leading Canberra Raiders, and becoming the club's most capped player.

"I totally understand. I've got to consider seeing myself somewhere else as well."
