    Canberra forward to fight dangerous contact charge after pleading not guilty to NRL judiciary

    Canberra forward Hudson Young will fight his dangerous contact charge after pleading not guilty ahead of his trip to the NRL judiciary tonight

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Young appeared to eye-gouge Warriors back Adam Pompey.

    The 21-year-old copped a five-game ban earlier in the season over a similar incident.

    A suspension would rub him out of Canberra's finals campaign.

    Coach Ricky Stuart admitted Young deserved a grading for stupidity, but criticised "unfair hysteria" from the public.
