Hudson Young has arrived in Port Moresby for potential signing with the Chiefs, recovering from an Achilles injury during negotiations.
NSW Origin forward Hudson Young has arrived in Port Moresby as the Chiefs continue their aggressive recruitment drive, desperate to lock up the injured Raider as their signing #008.
Young, who is recovering from a season-ending Achilles injury, arrived on Wednesday in Port Moresby, where he was greeted by Chiefs coach Willie Peters, chief executive Lorna McPherson and general manager of football Michael Chammas.
Young made the trip with his manager Sam Ayoub in a clear sign they are ready to do business.
It's a tour that almost didn't go ahead after the NRL initially set Young's market value at $1.1 million, to match the amount Canberra was prepared to pay him. That figure was reset to $1 million before being re-evaluated again after the Raiders pulled the deal.
