Hudson Young evaluates contract future with Raiders and PNG Chiefs

Canberra Raiders second-rower Hudson Young is considering his long-term future amid ongoing contract negotiations. Young has declined two record-setting offers from the Raiders, despite the club's desire to secure him as a potential team captain. To evaluate his options, Young plans to visit the PNG Chiefs in the coming weeks. The player confirmed his interest is limited to either the Raiders or the PNG Chiefs, though the latter's roster-building efforts remain a factor in his decision. The Raiders provided express permission for the visit to help resolve his contract status before November 1. Young, who is currently recovering from an Achilles injury, noted that he intends to make a decision based on his personal comfort level after seeing the PNG program firsthand.
