If Canberra Raiders fans felt Hudson Young was hard done by in his NSW Blues axing for Origin III, rest assured they weren't alone.
There were mixed emotions at Raiders training on Monday as the team learned of Corey Horsburgh's long-awaited call-up to the Maroons' 17, while Young was dumped for game three in Sydney on July 12.
It was a bitter pill to swallow for Raiders centre Jarrod Croker who thought Young was a near-certainty to retain his position for NSW after setting up their only try in a solid showing in game two.
