Hudson Young's compelling story makes him a standout player in NSW Blues' star-studded squad, despite benching.
There's definitely some competition in the NSW Blues, but Hudson Young might be the best story out of the star-studded squad, with a proper shot on the Origin stage set to create another chapter to his fascinating journey.
Tune in to most mainstream news reports from the Blues camp and Young is lucky to get a mention.
The 26-year-old is on the bench for the game one clash against Queensland on Wednesday night, but if Blues coach Laurie Daley was to select his back-row on form and statistical output alone, there'd be no argument to Ricky Stuart's call that Young should start.
