Hudson Young avoids suspension for hair pull; fined $1,000 or $1,500 if he contests the charge.
Canberra Raiders second-rower Hudson Young will avoid a suspension over a hair pull on Dominic Young during his side's loss to the Newcastle Knights on Sunday afternoon.
Young was penalised for the offence where he grabbed Young by the hair and pulled during a play the ball in the early going of the second half.
The Raiders' star, who is in line to be picked for the New South Wales Blues again this season, has been hit with a Grade 1 contrary conduct charge which will see him fined $1000 with an early guilty plea or $1500 if he fights and loses at the judiciary.
It's a first offence for Young on his rolling 12-month record.
