Local journo now quoting Paps saying he's looking forward to finishing off strong at canberra and the exciting challenge ahead of him at Parra.

Canberra still hopeful of a Nathan Smith/Luke Lewis change of heart. But outside of that, looks like it's done... Congrats, got a damn good player here. I doubt we'll ever truly know the contract value but i hope we at least made you blokes pay through the nose. Gutted to see him leave but thats the nature of the NRL unfortunately.

Cheers for the classy response Raider_69 (and also for your level headed discussion on the corresponding thread in the NRL forum),

Supporters from all teams on LU could afford to learn from you on how to conduct themselves when a good player leaves their team for a lucrative offer.

Yeah agree and I hate us losing players we have developed and see it as a problem for other clubs as well having their juniors "stolen" - the nrl should do something about it.

I'll second that. Too many knob ends on the main forum who think that because their team is better they are superior human beings. Nice to see that there is still room for civil discourse between rival fans on league issues.

Can't wait to watch sandow, Hayne, Hoppa and Josh attack down that right side in 2014 :)

Great news! Hopefully Papali further develops his game this season, and goes on to great things with us from 2014.

Great news for season 2014 and beyond.

I just feel it's a ridiculous situation that signings are taking place so far out.

Feel free to send us Hayne in return! lol.

Hope he goes well, despite the fact he'll be in an eels jersey, he is a great player to watch

If reports of Papali on 100k this season are true the Raiders only have themselves to blame. Especially after signing a useless Slug like Edwards who is probably on more.

He's only played two years of first grade and would have been given an increase. Its not like Don furner tabled him a 100k offer yesterday. You guys just offered him more.
