Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Tireless work-rate at the breakdown

Young's tackle numbers across these eleven URC appearances mark him out as one of the primary defensive workhorses in the Dragons loose trio, consistently asked to make double-digit tackles per game. His carrying load is steady rather than explosive, though peak outings of twelve carries and 48 metres in a single match show he can shift up a gear when the game demands it. Two tries from this sample suggest he also has the awareness to arrive at the right moment in attack.
