Canberra Raiders star Josh Papalii said he's happy with his fitness despite still being forced to go through gruelling early morning workouts just over a month out from the start of the season.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart confronted Papalii along Samoan teammates Joey Leilua and Junior Paulo about their weight after returning from World Cup duties.
Papalii said a gruelling regimen of cardio work on the treadmill and rowing machine has him ready for round one.
"We've still got the early [training] group for boys who haven't made skin-fold targets, so we've been getting up at 5am for that," Papalii said.
