WHEN Dom Young quit Huddersfield to move to the NRL as an unproven teenager, it was quite the leap of faith.
The 6ft 7in winger from Wakefield had made just two first-team appearances for the Giants and yet here he was joining Australian side Newcastle Knights on a threeyear deal.
His 2021 debut season was hit and miss, but Young soon began to fulfil his awesome potential as a 2022 breakout year ended with a nine-try haul for England at the World Cup.
After more success in 2023, he made a big-money switch to Aussie giants Sydney Roosters, where this season he has notched 20 tries in 22 games.
