The Canberra Raiders are negotiating contract extensions for key players before free agency on November 1, aiming to secure their future.
The Canberra Raiders are taking proactive steps to secure a group of key players before they enter free agency on November 1 this year.
With Josh Papali'i's anticipated exit at the end of the season, the team is eager to maintain a strong future in the capital.
This effort includes extending contracts for Ethan Sanders, Sebastian Kris, Xavier Savage, and Joe Roddy, as reported by the Canberra Times, which indicates that negotiations have commenced to solidify these players' futures.
Additionally, Hudson Young is set to enter free agency at the end of 2027 and will be open to negotiations with NRL competitors in November unless he is re-signed beforehand. Still, talks with the NSW Blues representative are reportedly going well, with hopes for a two- to three-year extension in place.
