Hudson Young's State of Origin selection was influenced by Mal Meninga, boosting his NRL performance.
It's the Kangaroos selection that had Hudson Young jumping back into State of Origin.
Young credited Australia coach Mal Meninga's influence in kick-starting the Canberra Raiders second-rower's NRL campaign.
That's led to Young getting picked on NSW coach Laurie Daley's bench for the Origin opener against Queensland at Lang Park Wednesday week.
