The Canberra Raiders re-signed Josh Papalii, reinforcing their "win now" strategy for 2026.
The Canberra Raiders have made a key decision on what their forward pack will look like moving forward, indicating they're in a "win now" window with a key re-signing.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the Raiders have locked in Maroons prop Josh Papalii for the 2026 season.
The deal, which will see him don the lime green jersey for at least one more year, was a strategic one by Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.
It is clear that Stuart believes his side is in a premiership-contending window and that the experience and leadership Papalii brings will be a key contributor to their success.
