Bidding for Raiders' Hudson Young highlights growing demand for edge forwards in the NRL, with significant offers emerging.
The bidding war for Raiders back-rower Hudson Young might just be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the NRL's most in-demand position.
Edge forwards have always been important players for any side, but the market for them appears set to explode at the end of the 2026 season.
Young has been heavily linked with a move to the PNG Chiefs, but his current club Canberra have reportedly offered him a mammoth $1.1 million-per-season extension offer.
The 28-year-old tore his Achilles last month but is arguably the Raiders' best player, so it's no surprise they want to keep him long-term.
