The Canberra Raiders are preparing to make an official offer to veteran prop Josh Papalii. Currently on a contract that ends in 2025, the Queensland State of Origin representative had initially been expected to leave the club at the end of the season.

There were discussions about Papalii potentially exiting the NRL entirely. However, during the State of Origin camp leading up to Game 3, he expressed a willingness to continue playing in the NRL.

Subsequently, reports indicated that the Newcastle Knights were considering an offer for him. In response, Papalii's management reached out to the Raiders to gauge their interest in extending his contract.

The Canberra Raiders are reportedly set to put an official offer on the table for veteran prop Josh Papalii.

Off-contract at the end of 2025, the recalled Queensland State of Origin representative had previously been resigned to leaving the club at the end of the campaign.

It was then reported that the Newcastle Knights were weighing up an offer, before Papalii's management approached the Raiders to ascertain if there was any appetite for a new deal.

The Raiders, despite having a host of young forwards they are looking to prioritise behind a forward pack that would be led by Joseph Tapine, Corey Horsburgh and Morgan Smithies, are now poised to re-sign Papalii, per a Sydney Morning Herald report.
