Josh Papalii re-signs with Canberra Raiders on four year deal

[Ruben Daley]

Three years at two million sounds spot-on to me.

Other elite guys in his position (and not elite) have already been earning more than that, such as Gillett $750K, Surgess $850K, Merrin $750K etc.

Plus, Angus Crichton will on $1M from next year.

The same radio station that said he was a done deal at Souths lol?

The person that said he was going to the Rabbits was that idiot Maroon.

As GE has said Brent Read has way more credibility.

Maroon's also a mad Souths fan. I'm stunned at the amount that took it as fact just cos that goose said he was going to Souths.

Papa was huge again tonight.

Damn he's a fine player.

Worth every brass razoo...

[edwahu]

Yep, get it done.

[gilby_gillard]

Would love for this to be confirmed early this week.

[El_Capitano]

80mins in the middle!

Yeah, I've been critical of him of late, but today he was very good.

Boyd can go find himself another club though. Useless.

[reptar]

Has this been announced yet?

[greeneyed]

No.

[reptar]

No.

Can you make him hurry? You can do anything, right GE?

Your wish is granted my friend.

I’m concerned there has been no announcement around Papilii resigning. It tells me there must be another team around showing interest. It’s concerning to say the least.

[Beejay]

The Paulo article said it’s done waiting on his manager to get back from overseas

It's funny how "overseas" seems to be the common reason used when a player hasn't signed.

Anyone heard of internet and roaming?

I'll vouch for terrible internet in the Cook Islands.

Yep, that one always cracks me up. Even if one manager is on vacation, he is signed to a management company with multiple partners who should be able to handle it.

[Off]

I mean how could you refuse an offer from this outstanding club.

[Lucy]

You would think now would be the best time they announce this considering the wave of rejections of late.

I figure if this is announced soon we need not worry, but I would be quietly concerned of its legitimacy if it's not announced in the next week. It's the positive news the club PR needs right now, depending on whether it is actually happening.

Yeah the “oversea’s” line just means, we are currently looking at other offers before we make a decision. edwahu is correct in that these agencies have multiple partners available to ink a deal. Once a deal is confirmed it’s the lawyers who nut out the detail and the agent isn’t really required once at that stage

[LastRaider]

Maybe Papilii hasn’t signed as Stuart wants him to play 8 or 10, but he wants to play in the back row or 13...

[Nadruku]

He’s going good big papa hope it’s announced soon. Is it just me or was he playing a lot at prop or 13 when SIa went off

They said in commentary that its a done deal and should be announced in a day or two.

Just on the commentary...

This from Brandy during the call.

" A solid 6 weeks from Shannon Boyd has earned him a nice little deal on the Gold Coast"

Oh..how I laughed.

[RedRaider]

With the Raiders having the bye next week, I am hoping the Raiders footy announcements will be about some further signings. Other than Luke Bateman there has been little positive signing news. Apart from Papa I really hope there is a big announcement about an extension to Havili's contract. Get it done Don.

[Lucy]

I got a laugh out of that.

"It is said the Papalii deal is done, all that is needed is signatures on the contract"

Sooo... you mean, it's not done. As the signatures are kinda the most important part of making a contract "done".

It makes sense it will be done this weekend with Schif in town. If it's not announced next week I would be a bit worried. Sia as well.

A late clause on Papalii’s contract that he won’t sign unless schifcofske gets to blow the horn for every home game for the duration of his new contract

Schifcofske to fullback, Wighton to centre

[LastRaider]

Talking of Papilii making SOO, it really worries me he hasn’t extended his contract with the Raider’s yet. There is something going on here that we don’t know about.

[roneel78]

If he signed on the weekend, dont they have to wait 10days or something before announcing??

No cooling off period anymore

I hope so

[Lucy]

So, that done deal hey?

Another 10 days of apparent done dealingness to wait out it seems..

There is a huge spanner in these works coming. I can feel it in my waters..
