In a display of loyalty and honor reminiscent of the greats that came before him, Canberra's very own Jordan Rapana has made it abundantly clear that his heart lies with the Raiders until the very end.
The seasoned fullback, with 202 games under his belt over a decade of service, acknowledges that his time on the field is drawing to a close.
But make no mistake, Rapana is not ready to hang up his boots just yet.
With a steely resolve and determination that echoes the great battles fought on the Rugby League field, Rapana has set his sights on one more season in the green jersey.
The Kiwi star is determined to secure a new contract with the Raiders for 2025, firmly stating that he won't even entertain the idea of donning another team's colors.
To him, there's only one place to retire, and that's right where he started - at the Raiders.
His declaration of allegiance to the club came in the wake of a poignant tribute to one of Rugby League's finest, Quentin Pongia, after a thrilling victory in Magic Round.
The Raiders were basking in the glory of their 1994 grand final win over Canterbury, with echoes of past triumphs ringing in their ears as the squad gathered in Brisbane to commemorate the milestone.
With memories of the past fueling his determination for the future, Rapana stands ready to write the next chapter of his Rugby League story with the Raiders.
