Hudson Young delivered a standout performance, scoring two tries—including the match-winner—as the Canberra Raiders defeated the Gold Coast Titans 20-30 to climb to third on the NRL ladder.
The Raiders exploded with three tries in 13 minutes during the first half, sparked by a courageous hit from hooker Tom Starling on a charging Reagan Campbell-Gillard, which commentators hailed as a turning point.
With five wins from seven games, Canberra leapfrogs the Broncos and Warriors in a strong early-season statement.
