Josh Papalii is a beloved figure in Raiders history, known for his connection with fans and loyalty.
To get an idea of how much Josh Papali'i means to the Raiders' loyal fans, and what they mean to him, take a peek out of the tunnel at GIO Stadium long after full-time and you'll see Big Papa signing autographs and posing for selfies until every last request has been granted.
Having called the national capital home since he was a teenager and now on the verge of his 300th game for the club, the 32-year-old holds a special place in the hearts of the Green Machine faithful.
According to club great Alan Tongue, who was Canberra's captain when Papali'i arrived on the scene in 2011, it is not uncommon for the team song or coach's debrief to be delayed while Big Papa gives his people a moment to treasure.
