Canberra offers Hudson Young a record $3.3 million over three years to secure his commitment before the open market opens.
Canberra will table the richest deal in the club's history to back-rower - and PNG chiefs target - Hudson Young.
Sources with knowledge of the situation who are not authorised to speak publicly on Thursday confirmed the Raiders have increased their offer to $3.3 million over three years in the hope Young recommits before he hits the open market on November 1.
Young's manager, Sam Ayoub, is due in the nation's capital in the next 24 hours, and club officials are optimistic they can broker a deal.
Jack Wighton was offered $4 million over four years before he took less money to join South Sydney, but the offer to Young is the richest per season in the club's history.
