Canberra back-rower Hudson Young may have qualified as an 'underrated' player in the Raiders squad at the beginning of the season.
That tag seems woefully inaccurate now he has emerged as one of the year's standout performers.
Consistently earning praise from coach Ricky Stuart, Raiders teammates, NRL oppositions and even attracting the attention of Canberra legend and Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga, Young is well in the frame for Rugby League World Cup selection.
