A former NRL winger for the Gold Coast Titans and Canberra Raiders, Jordan Rapana has decided to lace up the boots once again, signing with a new club ahead of the 2026 season.

Spending this year overseas in the Super League with Hull FC, Rapana has made the choice to return to the Gold Coast, agreeing to play with his former junior club, the Currumbin Eagles, for the next season.

The decision from the 36-year-old comes after he announced his retirement from professional rugby league in September.

The Canberra Raiders are potentially set to bring Coby Black to their team a year sooner than initially planned.

Originally, Black was not expected to join the Raiders until 2027, but recent developments have changed that outlook.

Current discussions between the Raiders and Broncos are exploring the possibility of an earlier transfer.

The Canberra Raiders may welcome Coby Black to the nation's capital a year ahead of schedule.

Despite there originally being no chance of the move happening before the start of 2027 when Black has already signed with the Raiders, that situation has pivoted in recent days.

From Brisbane's point of view, Black is out of their long-term plans with Jonah Pezet to arrive in 2027, but in the short-term, Black still may be required with Adam Reynolds at times struggling to stay fit, and Ben Hunt also approaching the end of his career.

Hunt will also be used in the dummy half role at full strength, and it's something the club may not want to change if needed.
