State of Origin legend Andrew Johns has heaped praise on axed Blues second-rower Hudson Young for an "Origin play" during the Raiders win over the Dragons.
Canberra held on for a 36-26 victory after a significant second half fade-out, but it was the play of Young that sealed the result.
With the Raiders holding a four-point lead, Dragons hooker Jacob Liddle broke through the line before Young ran him down and dislodged the ball with a strong tackle.
