Knights winger Dom Young could be in Roosters colours by next week with the clubs desperately trying to hash out a swap deal before Round 1.
The blockbuster trade development on the eve of the season comes just days after Young informed Newcastle he wouldn’t be re-signing with the club.
The 21-year-old winger was courted by a host of NRL clubs and he received offers from the Roosters, Dolphins, Titans and Knights for 2024 and beyond.
