Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart says Hudson Young plays his best football under fatigue and he hopes the second-rower gets the chance to show that in Origin II.
Stuart said Young deserved to keep his State of Origin spot for the NSW Blues, with coach Brad Fittler naming him in the starting 13 on Tuesday.
Young made his debut in the Origin opener in Adelaide and will run out for the must-win game two at Lang Park next Wednesday.
