‘There can be exceptional circumstances’: The change that could rock the player market

NRL allows players and clubs to contest market values, influenced by Hudson Young's $900,000 offer from PNG Chiefs.

The NSW forward was pursued by the PNG Chiefs in their bid to bulk up their pack ahead of their inaugural season in 2028.
