NRL will allocate $1 million against the salary cap for Hudson Young, regardless of his $900,000 deal with PNG Chiefs.
The NRL will count Hudson Young at $1 million against the salary cap, even if the second-rower agrees to a $900,000 deal with the PNG Chiefs.
"the salary-cap auditor has set a value for Hudson Young and we won't be compromising on the position.. The Chiefs won't be treated any different to any other club," NRL CEO Peter V'Landys told CODE Sports.
"If Hudson Young's worth $1 million and they're paying $900,000, $1 million will go on the salary cap.
"Of course, there are going to be some exceptional circumstances and those will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
