Hudson Young, a hard-running back-rower who was suspended for 18 months for a positive drug test while just a teenager, was a standout for Mounties under 20s last season.

“He has ticked all the right boxes and the coaching staff think he could have what it takes,” Raiders recruitment manager Peter Mulholland said of the 20-year-old.

Let’s hope he’s more Die Hard John McClane than Bruce Willis Hudson Hawk.

PS. There’s a great Podcast How did this get made about Hudson Hawk.

Seems like he has learned from his mistakes. Good on him.

Does anyone know if he is any good? I'm trying to understand if he is a real 1st grade prospect or simply an addition to make up our numbers?

He's a very good player... you don't get promoted out of Under 20s if you're not.

The report says top 30... but I guess we'll see... as the clubs are going to have to actually publish their lists this year!
