Josh Papalii is set to make history this Sunday as he becomes the Canberra Raiders' all-time most capped player with his 319th NRL appearance.
This milestone will take place at GIO Stadium during the Raiders' Round 14 match, surpassing the previous record of 318 games held by Jason Croker for nearly 20 years.
Papalii, who reached 300 games in 2023, joins an elite group of only three players who have achieved this milestone for the Green Machine, alongside Jason Croker and Jarrod Croker, who have 318 and 307 games, respectively.
Together, these three players represent less than 1% of the 403 individuals who have worn the Raiders jersey in first grade.

Slater's lack of commitment four days after the game surely would have left DCE feeling very nervous, and rightly so.
But those spruiking how Daly Cherry-Evans' performance in Manly's thumping win on Saturday night was somehow proof that DCE does not deserve to be dumped from the Queensland team for Origin II should take a moment to dissect Billy Slater's interview on The Sunday Footy Show.
When given the chance by Andrew Johns to back his veteran captain and publicly declare DCE was safe, Slater appeared more than content to sit on the fence and let DCE sweat it out.
