After a tough finals loss, Hudson Young revealed Ricky Stuart hired a comedian to lift spirits at Raiders HQ before their quick exit from the playoffs.
Canberra star Hudson Young has revealed Ricky Stuart hired a comedian for Raiders HQ to lighten the mood after their heartbreaking finals loss to Brisbane.
The Raiders thought they had won at least twice during the golden point epic but after two calls were overturned, the Broncos fought back to win thanks to a Ben Hunt field goal.
It was a debilitating defeat and while the Raiders had a second chance, they would be bundled out in straight sets the following week by Cronulla.
Given the sombre mood around the club following the Broncos loss, Young told foxsports.com.au that Stuart surprised the playing group with a special guest.
