Josh Papalii couldn't care less the NRL draw is unfair. Forcing the Canberra Raiders powerhouse to travel all over the country every week for the foreseeable future. Couldn't give a stuff.

All he cares about is that footy's back.
That's a thought that should have rugby league, nay, sports fans licking their lips.
A fully rested Papa hungry for work. Trucking the ball up with his combination of pure brute force, quick feet and deft hands.
It's enough to make you want to put up with Channel Nine's coverage. And random (but always late) kick-off times. Well, if Nine ever deemed the mighty Green Machine worthy of gracing their TV screens.
So, Heigh Ho, to Fox Sports we go. Footy is back. The Raiders are back.
While the thought of Papalii going to work might not be the most pleasant for the Melbourne Storm forwards, it's music to the rest of our ears.
So much so the cupboard's already fully stocked in preparation. Sixty-four packets of chips? Check. Eighteen litres of coke? Check. Thirty-six rolls of toilet paper? Check.
Finally, the coronavirus-induced binge-shopping is going to pay off.
MORE RAIDERS NEWS
The NRL has been good enough to program a few warm-up matches to ensure we're all fully match fit by the time the main event rolls around on Saturday night. When the Raiders take on the Storm in a rematch of last year's preliminary final.
For Thursday night's entree there's Horse and Eel. Friday night there's some Cow and Titan bread, just before the Rabbit and Chicken soup is served.
Finally on Saturday we get to the mains. Before a couple of mouldy cheese platters are brought out on Sunday.
Papalii's ready. Even more ready than he was at the start of the season. He was still feeling a bit bashed up from his 2019 efforts and the short turnaround that followed.
But nine weeks relearning primary school maths and filling in as his kids' substitute teacher has him cherry ripe and raring to go.
Fly-in, fly-out on game day? No dramas. Just make sure there's a yoga mat waiting for the big bopper when he gets to Melbourne.
"I think it's fine at the moment. We did it for our second round against the [New Zealand] Warriors up on the Gold Coast," Papalii said of the Raiders' endless road trip.
"I can't complain. It was a nice ride, we got there a few hours earlier, we had a feed and a stretch and I thought we played really well that game as well.
"Hopefully it doesn't affect us too much going into the season.
"I'm not too good with travel so that's going to take a few games to get used to.
"But in saying that I'm just happy to have footy back, back into a routine with training and a few games now so looking forward to it."
You're no Robinson Crusoe there Big Fella!
