Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless tackler, consistent ball-carrier

Across 57 matches Young averages nearly 12 tackles per game, a workload that marks him out as one of the more defensively active flankers in his competitions. He contributes reliably with ball in hand too, covering over 20 metres per match from his carries and adding 14 tries to his tally. His peak outputs — 26 tackles and 84 metres in a single game — suggest he is capable of stepping up his influence significantly in high-stakes moments.
