Josh Papali'i may miss the qualifying final against Brisbane due to a severe ankle injury.
The Canberra Raiders may be set to lose one of the squad's most influential figures for their crucial qualifying final against the Brisbane Broncos this weekend.
Josh Papali'i is racing the clock to be fit for Sunday afternoon's match at Canberra Stadium after a nasty ankle roll that left him in a moon boot.
The club confirmed the injury occurred on Friday during training and it has remained swollen over the weekend, seriously limiting the veteran prop's ability to train in the lead-up to the Broncos' visit to the capital.
