    Excessive, unbudgeted spending has caused Capital Football to suffer a massive $874,000 loss for 2022.

    It's potentially put the Throsby Home of Football at risk after wiping out almost a third of their cash reserves.

    Both new chief executive Ivan Slavich and chairman Angelo Konstantinou told The Canberra Times they were shocked by the loss, which saw a turnaround of almost $1 million from 2021 - where Capital Football recorded a $116,000 profit.

    Canberra Raiders star Hudson Young has kept his spot in the NSW Blues second row for their must-win Origin II clash at Lang Park next Wednesday.

    Young made his State of Origin debut for the Blues in the series opener in Adelaide and NSW coach Brad Fittler has kept faith with the 25-year-old.

    The Raiders second-rower only played the opening 31 minutes of Origin I before being replaced by Penrith star Liam Martin.

    NSW coach Brad Fittler appears set to roll the dice on debutants Reece Robson and Spencer Leniu when the Blues fight to salvage the State of Origin series in the must-win second game at Suncorp Stadium on June 21.

    The fresh faces are poised to come into the side after the three debutants from Game I, Tevita Pangai Jr, Hudson Young and Nicho Hynes, failed to fire as the Blues went down at Adelaide Oval.

    Fittler will unveil his side at 11am (AEST) on Tuesday.
