Canberra Raiders have re-signed veteran prop Josh Papalii ahead of their crucial finals match against Brisbane. This announcement puts to rest speculations that the club's most-capped player might transition to the Super League at the end of the season.

The decision also ensures that Papalii is likely to continue as a one-club player, solidifying his status as a club legend. In expressing his dedication, Papalii stated that there was no other team he wished to play for.

"Canberra has been a massive part of my life for the last 16-17 years, and to extend for one more year is such an honour," he said. "I just want to keep performing and show people why I'm staying on for another year."
