Raiders enforcer Josh Papali'i's wife Masepa has been handed a huge ban from local Canberra rugby league games for 10 years.

At Belmore, the much-loved gentle giant will become just the third Raider to notch 300 games for the club, alongside Jason Croker and Jarrod Croker.

According to reports from Channel Nine's Wide World of Sports, the sanction came after she allegedly entered the field when a brawl broke out during play, with video of the incident widely circulated on social media.

The incident comes just days before husband Josh is set to play his 300th first grade game against the Bulldogs at Belmore Sports Ground this Sunday.

The ban only applies to the local Canberra league, meaning she will be free to watch her husband play his milestone match this weekend.
