Jordan Rapana's tone changes at the mere mention of a Canberra Raiders rebuild.
The Raiders fullback was in a jovial mood ahead of Canberra's NRL season opener in Newcastle on Thursday night - but it was as if he'd flicked a switch when he heard the R-word, because that's not what he's here for.
"Obviously we've got a lot of youngsters, but I'm not about rebuilding. We can still win a comp with the players we've got," Rapana said.
