Hudson Young's potential move to the PNG Chiefs faces complications over contract value, with NRL rejecting his $900,000 offer.
Hudson Young is facing a huge call on his future, with the NSW Blues star poised to test his value on the open market after his proposed move to the PNG Chiefs has reached a critical point.
The Raiders forward has found himself caught in a bizarre standoff between Canberra, the NRL and Chiefs over his market valuation.
Young's proposed move to the PNG Chiefs has become one of the most complicated signings involving the new franchise, with the NRL understood to have concerns over the value of the deal given the tax-free benefits available in Papua New Guinea.
According to recent reports, the Chiefs were willing to offer Young a contract worth $900,000 a season, but the NRL rejected the deal.
This was because the governing body said he could not sign a deal below his market value of $1 million.
