Josh Papalii has officially confirmed he is seeking an extension with the Raiders and has clarified why he sought a move to England earlier….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He\u2019s confirmed that he\u2019s now seeking an extension with the Raiders for 2026. After previously hinting at leaving, the veteran forward has made it clear his intention is to stay with Canberra.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Earlier talk of a move to England (Super League) has been ruled out. Papali’i explained that aiming to play in next year\u2019s Rugby League World Cup influenced his desire to remain in the NRL\u2014it\u2019d be \u201chard to do it from England.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Raiders have responded positively, reportedly offering him a one-year extension. The club sees Papali\u2019i as an exception amid a youth-focused rebuild and values what he brings both on and off the field.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Papali\u2019i also expressed that his previous statements about leaving stemmed from feeling he wasn\u2019t performing at his best. He admitted he “wasn’t in a good place” back then, but now believes he\u2019s earned his spot again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In summary: Josh Papali’i has officially confirmed he wants to stay with the Raiders and is seeking a new deal. He\u2019s ruled out a move to England, motivated by his World Cup aspirations, and Canberra seems eager to keep him around for at least another season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
