Zeda Haas, 19, was charged alongside Kaharau Beer, 20, after a vehicle stop near Newcastle on Tuesday.
About 11.45am, officers stopped a ute in Beresfield and spoke with the driver and passenger.
Police say they seized 1.8kg of methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of $1 million, during a search of the vehicle.
Both men were arrested and have been charged with trafficking in a commercial quantity of a controlled drug and supplying a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug.
The traffic stop came weeks after Australian Border Force officers intercepted two parcels from the United States containing a combined 4kg of methamphetamine, with a street value of $3.5 million.
Haas and Beer were refused bail to appear before Maitland Local Court on Wednesday.
Haas is the younger brother of Broncos star Payne Haas, one of the star forwards in the NRL and a key player for the NSW State of Origin team and the Broncos.
The 23-year-old league prop has attracted interest from multiple clubs and Australian rugby, but his manager revealed on Tuesday he knocked back a $2 million-per-season deal from a rival team to sign a two-year extension with the Broncos.
