The Canberra Raiders plan to officially offer veteran prop Josh Papalii a contract renewal.
The Canberra Raiders are reportedly set to put an official offer on the table for veteran prop Josh Papalii.
Off-contract at the end of 2025, the recalled Queensland State of Origin representative had previously been resigned to leaving the club at the end of the campaign.
It was then reported that the Newcastle Knights were weighing up an offer, before Papalii's management approached the Raiders to ascertain if there was any appetite for a new deal.
The Raiders, despite having a host of young forwards they are looking to prioritise behind a forward pack that would be led by Joseph Tapine, Corey Horsburgh and Morgan Smithies, are now poised to re-sign Papalii, per a Sydney Morning Herald report.
