Canberra Raiders Head Coach Ricky Stuart has reportedly set his sights on securing the signature of powerhouse forward David Fifita as a potential replacement for Hudson Young, who is rumored to be weighing a move away from the club. With Young’s future uncertain, Stuart is determined to bring in a proven performer to reinforce the back row and maintain the team’s defensive strength and attacking edge.
