Canberra's Ricky Stuart doubts Josh Papalii's availability for the qualifying final against Brisbane despite training.
Canberra coach Ricky Stuart has cast doubt on inspirational forward Josh Papalii's chances of playing in the Raiders' qualifying final against a Brisbane side boosted by positive injury news around a star of their own.
Papalii has been racing against the clock to overcome an ankle injury ahead of Sunday's sold-out clash in the nation's capital.
Although the veteran prop trained for 10-15 minutes on Friday and has been included in Canberra's matchday squad, Stuart said he still needed to show improvement.
