Josh Papali'i has enjoyed one of the standout seasons of his 14-year NRL career, making a notable return to the QLD Maroons, securing a State of Origin win, playing for the top-seeded Canberra Raiders, and becoming the club's most capped player.

This year has been remarkable for 'Big Papa', and while many anticipated it might be his last season in the NRL, the 33-year-old has other intentions.

'Turbo' is reportedly set to retain his spot at fullback this week, according to The Daily Telegraph.
