The PNG Chiefs will no longer pursue Hudson Young after he met with them regarding a potential deal.
Details have surfaced that the PNG Chiefs will no longer pursue Hudson Young after the Canberra Raiders gave him permission to meet with the expansion side.
The Origin star was first offered a three-year deal worth $1.1 million per season, which is the largest in Canberra's history.
Young wanted to pursue an opportunity to meet with the Chiefs after the 19th NRL team expressed interest in the back-rower.
Raiders CEO Don Furner gave Young permission to meet with the Chiefs and travel to explore PNG's facilities, scheduled for a later date this month as he is currently recovering from an Achilles injury.
