Josh Papali'i is reconsidering a Super League move, open to NRL offers instead.
Raiders veteran Josh Papali'i is having second thoughts about a move to the Super League, and instead is "open to offers" from rival NRL clubs, it has been revealed.
"He was linked to St Helens and I'm not sure if it's because of his form, his Origin recall, whatever the case may be, but he's made it clear to those close to him that he doesn't really want to go to the Super League.
Papali'i had been linked to a move to St Helens at the end of this season, when he comes off contract.
But now he is likely to remain in the NRL, and it's a turn of events that has caught the Raiders off guard, according to The Daily Telegraph's Michael Carayannis.
"I think everyone just assumed Josh Papali'i was going to go to the Super League at the end of the season," Carayannis said on NRL 360 on Wednesday night.
