    Blues Origin star offered club record deal as PNG Chiefs circle

    Canberra offers Hudson Young a record $3.3 million over three years to secure his commitment before the open market opens.

    The Sydney Morning Herald

    Canberra will table the richest deal in the club's history to back-rower - and PNG chiefs target - Hudson Young.

    Sources with knowledge of the situation who are not authorised to speak publicly on Thursday confirmed the Raiders have increased their offer to $3.3 million over three years in the hope Young recommits before he hits the open market on November 1.

    Young's manager, Sam Ayoub, is due in the nation's capital in the next 24 hours, and club officials are optimistic they can broker a deal.

    Jack Wighton was offered $4 million over four years before he took less money to join South Sydney, but the offer to Young is the richest per season in the club's history.

  • 'How he cares': Ricky reveals the side of 'Papa' that makes him proud

    Josh Papali'i dedicates his efforts to supporting families and children in need, particularly through his role as an ambassador for charity Win The Day.

    The Canberra Times

    As he's done throughout his career, Josh Papali'i's doing it for his family.

    But it's not just the Canberra Raiders great's own family.

    There's dozens, potentially hundreds, who he means more to than simply being a footballer.

    "Papa" just loves kids and since he began his NRL journey in 2011 his big heart has had plenty of room to spend time with young fans, especially those who were doing it tough.

  • One year on, Raiders and Broncos still reckon with the legacy of their greatest game

    One year on, Raiders and Broncos still reckon with the legacy of their greatest game

    Raiders and Broncos reflect on their unforgettable last match before their upcoming game.

    ABC Sport

    There are some defeats so cruel a team cannot survive even if it doesn't kill them and some triumphs that never leave a team even if they go on to greater glories and sometimes, if we're lucky, both things happen at the same time. 

    That's what Canberra and Brisbane are both reckoning with ahead of their match tomorrow night, the first meeting for the two clubs since last year's double-extra time semi-final that ended with Broncos winning 29-28 in the 94th minute.

    It's scheduling malpractice on the NRL's part that we've had to wait so long for a sequel, which now has a direct-to-video quality when it could have been a blockbuster.

    Perhaps they hoped this match would have finals implications but history didn't say it was likely.
