Josh Papali'i's future with Canberra Raiders is uncertain, as discussions about a potential new deal begin.
Josh Papali'i's future will be at the top of the agenda when one of rugby league's leading player agents seeks out Canberra Raiders chief Don Furner to map out the next move for a star forward likened more to "a machine" than a mere mortal.
Raiders fans were whipped into a frenzy on Monday amid speculation Papali'i could turn his back on the chance to extend his career in the English Super League in favour of a new deal with the Raiders.
Now player agent Steve Gillis and Furner are poised to discuss the future of the Raiders fan favourite, who became Canberra's most-capped player of all time during the club's charge to the top of the NRL ladder.
