Maguire advises Young to work hard to earn spot in Origin team in June.

The Canberra Times

NSW Blues coach Michael Maguire has laid out exactly what Hudson Young needs to do in the coming weeks to force his way back into the Origin selection frame after his series debut last year.

Maguire might have left the capital as Raiders assistant after taking up his new role as Blues coach this year, but he still keeps one eye on what is happening in his hometown of Canberra.

He also remains in close contact with Raiders head coach and old schoolmate Ricky Stuart, which could put Young in a good position to be noticed by Maguire when it comes time to name his Blues squad for game one on June 5 in Sydney.

Despite his fiery feud with Raiders coach Ricky Stuart and the Titans' winless start to the season, Hasler remains tight-lipped on one burning question - the $565,000 settlement offer from Manly.

The seasoned coach, who has a storied history with the Sea Eagles as both a player and a coach, is embroiled in a legal dispute with his former club over the settlement amount, which is currently before the NSW Supreme Court.
