Raiders' hammer blow as superstar forward free to negotiate with rival
Hudson Young has permission to negotiate with Papua New Guinea's Chiefs, increasing doubts about his future with Canberra Raiders.
Fox League
Raiders and Blues star Hudson Young has reportedly been granted permission by Canberra to travel to Papua New Guinea next month and negotiate with the Chiefs.
In a bitter blow to the Raiders, Young will head to Port Moresby in September and is free to potentially work out a deal from 2028 according to CODE Sports.
Young has already turned down a club record $3.3 million contract extension from the Raiders and given that rejection and this latest development, Canberra are huge odds to hold onto the star back rower.
Brian To'o was recently given a one-week window by the Panthers to negotiate with the Chiefs and ended up signing a three-year-deal with the NRL's 19th franchise.
The Chiefs are in the midst of building a super team for their inaugural season, but Young would be the first star forward the club have landed.

Broncos forward Lillian Yarrow said the side still has the belief they can be a dominant force, despite trying to prevent a fourth straight defeat when they face Parramatta.
Last year's defending premiers have lost an unprecedented three games in a row to drop down to fifth on the ladder after suffering losses to top six teams the Raiders, Roosters and last week, the Titans.
While their loss in Canberra was a heavy one, in the grand final rematch and the local derby, the side showed patches of what has made them a powerhouse of the competition, but their lapses cost them the results.
