We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Andrew Johns praises Hudson Young's skills, endorses him for NSW State of Origin squad.
Hudson Young's State of Origin selection chances have been given a major boost with a glowing endorsement from a rugby league Immortal.
Blues legend Andrew Johns believes the "dynamite" Canberra Raiders second-rower should be included in the NSW squad wherever possible after his game-winning try for the Green Machine against Manly.
"He's a try-scorer," Johns said on Nine's Sunday Footy Show.
Hudson Young is in form, possible State of Origin call-up after match-winning performances.
Hudson Young's back to his match-winning ways and with it the Canberra Raiders second-rower could have launched himself back onto the State of Origin arena.
Young made his NSW Blues debut last year off the back of a series of match-winning tries over the past couple of years.
Could his combination with Raiders young gun Ethan Strange have him in the mix to help cover the loss of injured South Sydney forward Cameron Murray?
Whitehead shining in lime green, critical to Raiders' future success with two tries and assist.
It's one of his best games in lime green, but more importantly Elliott Whitehead's return has been labelled a crucial cog in the development of the Canberra Raiders' generation next.
Whitehead scored two tries and set up another as he turned back the clock to lead the Raiders to a 26-24 victory over Manly at Brookvale on Friday night.
It's the fourth time in his NRL career the 34-year-old has scored two tries in a game and the first time he's done it since 2018.
