Canberra have shaken off poaching attempts from their NRL rivals to lock Joseph Tapine into a four-year contract extension.
The New Zealand powerhouse has arguably become the most damaging prop in the game after leading the NRL in post-contact metres and managing the second-most offloads this season.
The 28-year-old attracted interest from a number of clubs but on Monday was confirmed on a new four-year deal at the Raiders, where he was already signed to play next season.
