Lee Gaskin from the Canberra Times is reporting the following on twitter:
@Lee_Gaskin1: Josh Papalii on joining the Eels: “The time I have spent with the Canberra Raiders have been the best of my life. The Club and the fans have been so good to me & my family and I will always be grateful. Heading to Parramatta next season is a new and exciting challenge, they are a club on the rise and I am looking forward to being a part of what Ricky Stuart and the team up there are doing. My first priority though is playing good footy for the Raiders this year and going out on a high."
@Lee_Gaskin1: Raiders hopeful of changing Papalii's mind and getting him to counter sign. Have until rd13. Happened to them with Nathan Smith #NRL
