The Raiders are reconsidering Josh Papalii's contract extension for 2026, exploring new options.
The Canberra Raiders are reportedly weighing up a sensational backflip over the future of prop Josh Papalii.
Off-contract at the end of 2025, Papalii had been resigned to leaving the Raiders, but wanted to continue his career into 2026.
But now Papalii might remain in the nation's capital, with Channel 9s Danny Weidler reporting the prop's management asked Raiders officials if there was any chance of a new contract recently.
The Raiders didn't deny the request, but are yet to make an offer for Papalii either.
