Canberra Raiders withdrew Hudson Young's contract offer, amid rumors of his potential move to PNG Chiefs in 2027.
The Canberra Raiders have sensationally withdrawn their contract offer for star second-rower Hudson Young.
Young, off-contract at the end of 2027, has been constantly rumoured as a player likely to test his value on the open market, despite assurances out of the club that they are confident of retaining him.
It comes with the PNG Chiefs, who he will tour in the coming weeks, set to offer Young a deal to become part of the Port Moresby-based outfit from the start of 2027.
The Raiders have been in talks with Young for much of the year over his future, offering a deal believed to be worth $4.4 million over four years, having increased both the money involved and length from their original offer.
