The NRL has told the PNG Chiefs that any contract for Hudson Young must be registered at his $1.1 million market value, matching Canberra's annual offer.
The Raiders have now increased their bid to retain the back-rower, adding a year to their initial lucrative proposal.
If Young accepts, he will remain in the nation's capital until the end of 2031.
Young is on holiday and is due to meet Canberra officials next week to discuss the improved offer.

St Helens set to swoop on Starling
Owen Pattie's role as Canberra's hooker paves the way for Tom Starling's move to St Helens next year.

Owen Pattie's emergence as Canberra's starting hooker has helped open a path for Tom Starling to leave the Raiders, according to News Corp.
The report says Canberra will let the 28-year-old go despite a year remaining on his contract, after he agreed to a long-term move to St Helens.
Starling is expected to sign a three-year deal beginning in 2028, with the agreement reportedly close to completion and likely to be finalised next week.
The move gives St Helens coach Kevin Walters a recruit sought by Manly's Kieran Foran, who wanted to strengthen the Sea Eagles' dummy-half options.

Sydney has won 27 of its past 28 matches since mid-2024, including two unbeaten regular seasons, with Brisbane's 2024 grand-final victory the only loss.
The Roosters are also motivated by the impending retirements of veterans Millie Elliott and Corban Baxter.
Canberra captain Zahara Temara, a former Roosters premiership winner, insists her team will not be intimidated.
