Overview

• Dominic Young has been dropped to the NSW Cup and is no longer part of the Roosters’ first-grade plans despite his prolific try-scoring record.
• The Roosters have officially allowed Young to explore opportunities with rival clubs ahead of the June 30 mid-season transfer deadline.
• Young, who scored 25 tries in 29 games for the Roosters, has likely played his last game for the team under coach Trent Robinson.
• The Newcastle Knights, where Young set a club try-scoring record in 2023, are the frontrunners to re-sign him but face potential competition from other clubs.
• Young's departure reflects the Roosters' preference for other players in their outside backs and their evolving roster strategy.
