Josh Papalii signs a one-year deal with Canberra Raiders, despite injury concerns for finals.
Josh Papalii is set to continue his NRL career in the nation's capital, with the resurgent Raiders legend inking a one-year deal with Canberra.
Heading into 2025, the smart money was on Papalii either retiring at the end of the season or heading to the Super League.
However, the most-capped Raider of all time enjoyed a terrific 2025 campaign for the table-topping Raiders, which included a recall into the Origin arena.
Papalli's new deal has been announced as the prop is under an injury cloud for this Sunday's qualifying final against the Broncos.
An ankle injury has Papalii in doubt to take his place for the blockbuster.
Via a club-issued statement, Papalii says it's an "honour" to stay a Raider for one more season.
