The 2023 season was another strong year for Papalii, as the 13-year veteran led the team in tackle efficiency and ran an average of 125 metres a game.
Papalii formed a formidable combination with teammates Joe Tapine and Corey Horsburgh to become a real force in the middle for the Green Machine.
Papalii’s season was unfortunately cut short due to a biceps injury which required season-ending surgery. Josh is set to make a full recovery and be back for another consistent season in 2024.
