He's only 28!
Just reaching maturity as a prop.
Easily another 4 years left in the motor.
Nice to see also the Raiders as a club that people want to play for.
Could be good for future recruitment.

After we helped him develop into the best prop in the game. You wouldn't read about it :thumbsup

You would, but only in Fergus' weekly segment "Behind Green Eyes".

Whatever we're paying him he's worth it. His impact on the field is equivalent to a top end spine player.

Looks like he has a great off field relationship with players like Sia, Croker, Wighton and Lui in particular.

I think that has helped Papa settle into his football and family roles that are so important to him. What a club leader he has become.

'Papa's stay at the Eels would have been short lived': Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart

Ricky Stuart maintains if Josh Papalii ended up at Parramatta when the coach himself signed him to the western Sydney club for the 2014 season, it would not have worked out.

"Knowing Papa the way I do now, his stay at the Eels would have been short lived," Stuart says. "That's got nothing to do with the Eels. But Papa wouldn't have lasted living in Sydney. He likes the quieter life."
