Across 54 matches Young averages nearly 12 tackles per game, a workload that marks him as a primary defensive anchor in the loose. He contributes reliably with ball in hand too, and his single-game peaks — 26 tackles and 84 metres carried — show he can dominate individual contests when the moment demands it. His 14 tries across the dataset add a finishing dimension that is rare for a forward carrying this kind of defensive burden.
