Canberra Raiders second-rower Hudson Young is inching toward a million-dollar contract extension, but no deal has been done yet.
Young is off contract at the end of next season, but was a prime target to lock down with his star rising in the NRL.
The potential NSW Origin bolter reportedly secured a $2.8 million deal on the weekend to remain in the capital until the end of 2027, but his manager Sam Ayoub said negotiations were ongoing and an agreement was still "miles off".
