NSW Origin standout Hudson Young has decided to hold off on a record $3.3 million deal from the Raiders for the time being.

The club is allowing him a short period to seek opportunities with the financially robust expansion team, the PNG Chiefs.

Young's management plans to formally ask for a week to discuss potential deals with Chiefs executives early in September after meeting with Canberra officials last Friday.

Recently, the Raiders enhanced their initial three-year contract extension offer to Young to $3.3 million, marking the largest salary in the club's history in an effort to secure one of the league's top talents.

Hudson Young, a standout player for the Canberra Raiders, is poised to engage in discussions with the new PNG Chiefs next month.

The Raiders have presented the NSW State of Origin representative with a record contract, but the introduction of the NRL's 19th franchise has provided a significant opportunity for the 28-year-old.

This September, Young will receive clearance to speak with the Chiefs for a week, possibly touring the club's facilities in Port Moresby.
