Canberra Raiders legend closing in on two-year contract with new club…..Read more 👇

One of the club’s most decorated players, Josh Papaliʻi, recently became Canberra’s most capped player, surpassing Jason Croker’s previous mark of 318 appearances earlier this season . Papaliʻi, now 33, had previously indicated an openness to heading to England’s Super League, with St Helens reportedly expressing interest. However, reports suggest he is now reconsidering that move, and the Raiders have signalled they may still explore the possibility of re-signing him domestically for another season .

 

Current speculation suggests that if Papaliʻi does depart, it would likely be a two‑year contract with a Super League side or potentially another NRL club that respects his wish not to play against the Raiders .

 

In summary, the former Raiders enforcer—club’s all-time appearance record holder—appears on the verge of securing a two-year contract away from Canberra, given his impending free agency, with details expected to firm up ahead of the 2026 season
