The Raiders aim to secure Matty Nicholson amid Hudson Young's uncertain future and negotiations with the PNG Chiefs.
The Raiders are working on keeping a promising back rower in the nation's capital amid uncertainty around Hudson Young's future.
Young rejected the Raiders' latest $3.3 million offer and is set to negotiate with the PNG Chiefs, a strong indication he could leave Canberra at the end of next season.
In the mean time, the Raiders are shifting their focus on locking down young English forward Matty Nicholson, according to Code Sports.
Talks between the two parties have reportedly intensified over the last week.
The 23-year-old has impressed when he's seen the field since arriving at the start of last season.
