Ricky Stuart humorously downplays keeping Hudson Young, despite viewing him as a future Raiders captain and starting contract talks.
Don't tell Hudson Young, but Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart isn't keen on keeping him at the club.
Stuart managed to keep a straight face for a few seconds before bursting out with laughter at his captain's run press conference on Thursday.
Young's become such an integral part of the Green Machine, Stuart sees him as a future Raiders captain and a one-club player.
It's why the Raiders have already started contract talks to keep Young in the capital beyond his current deal, which runs until the end of next year.
