Hurricanes Halfback Richard Judd was just a week away from having voluntary surgery when Cam Roigard went down with a serious injury, and now he's been thrust into the spotlight.  

He caught up with Piney to discuss his season and the rollercoaster of a week he's been having. 

Judd said that despite the circumstances, he’s happy he’s on the bench and will hopefully get some good game time this season.
