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."

Josh Papalii signs a one-year deal with Canberra Raiders, despite injury concerns for finals.

Josh Papalii is set to continue his NRL career in the nation's capital, with the resurgent Raiders legend inking a one-year deal with Canberra.

Heading into 2025, the smart money was on Papalii either retiring at the end of the season or heading to the Super League.

However, the most-capped Raider of all time enjoyed a terrific 2025 campaign for the table-topping Raiders, which included a recall into the Origin arena.

Papalli's new deal has been announced as the prop is under an injury cloud for this Sunday's qualifying final against the Broncos.

An ankle injury has Papalii in doubt to take his place for the blockbuster.

Via a club-issued statement, Papalii says it's an "honour" to stay a Raider for one more season.
