Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive anchor

Across 20 matches Young has been a consistent workhorse, averaging nearly nine tackles per game and topping 24 in a single outing — figures that point to a lock who shoulders a heavy defensive burden week in, week out. His carrying numbers tell a similar story of steady, reliable contribution rather than explosive bursts, with his best game yielding 11 carries and 40 metres, underlining his value as a platform builder in the tight exchanges.
