Despite suffering a season-ending and surgery-inducing ruptured Achilles, Raiders second-rower Hudson Young is as chirpy as ever.
That's according to his Canberra teammate Matt Timoko, who witnessed the NSW State of Origin representative's injury first hand during the Raiders' 34-24 victory over South Sydney last Saturday.
"We saw him yesterday, and to be honest, he was still cheery and bubbly, which is pretty crazy," Timoko told reporters on Thursday.
"I was speaking to him after the injury. He said he'll be back at round one.
"It shows the kind of person he is. It shows how much of a leader he is as well.

Wests Tigers star Adam Doueihi is a shock withdrawal from Saturday's NRL clash with the Canberra Raiders following a heated argument with coach Benji Marshall at training on Thursday.
Doueihi walked out of the club's Concord headquarters after Marshall told him he would be playing lock, rather than his preferred position in the Tigers' halves.
The Tigers playmaker had been named in reserve jersey No.22 to tackle the Raiders with Eels-bound star Jarome Luai and 19-year-old NRL debutant Javon Andrews named in the halves for the clash in the nation's capital.
