BREAKING NEWS: Canberra Top Star Confirms He Wants To Return!
In a bombshell revelation, former Canberra Raiders standout Joseph Tapine has confirmed his strong desire to return to the club that shaped his NRL career. After months of speculation and cryptic social media posts, Tapine has broken his silence, declaring, “Canberra is home — my heart never left.”
Tapine, who left the Raiders for a lucrative deal elsewhere, has reportedly grown disillusioned with his current team’s culture and performance. Sources close to the 30-year-old Kiwi international say he misses the tight-knit Raiders locker room, the support of head coach Ricky Stuart, and the passionate fanbase in the capital.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect for Canberra. With several forward pack positions set to open up in 2026, Tapine’s potential return would be a massive boost to the club’s rebuilding plans. “I made some great memories in Canberra. If the door’s open, I’d love to walk through it again,” he told reporters.
Negotiations are believed to be underway behind the scenes, with both parties eager to make the reunion a reality. If finalized, Tapine’s return could ignite a new era for the Green Machine — and send a strong message across the NRL.
