The Raiders board felt the further one match suspension was significant enough following the Kangaroos decision to stand Papalii down from Friday night’s test match.

Papalii was found guilty on Thursday but was permitted to play against the Bulldogs on Saturday.

“The Board’s decision took into account all of the facts surrounding the incident and the determination today has the best interests of both the club and Josh’s welfare,” Raiders CEO Don Furner said.

“The Board believes Josh has endured a hefty punishment from both the court process and by his omission from the Kangaroos team and believed a further one match suspension was the correct punishment.

“As mentioned in the statement on Friday, the club has to ensure that Josh’s personal matters are handled in a sensitive and confidential matter.”

Papalii will be available for selection for the Raiders again in round eleven.
