Hall, who was named the best Weissel Cup player two years ago, was sent to link with the Canberra Raiders under 20s this season.

However with the competition off due to the health threat, the young gun will travel back to play with his hometown club.

Coach Nick Hall, who is no relation, is thrilled to have the young talent at his disposal after coming into the coaching role.

"He's a good kid and has been a Cherrypicker his whole life," Hall said.

"He was a Cherrypicker last year and if the Raiders for whatever reason can't use him as that comp isn't happening I think it is only right kids like that come back and play for their hometown if they are keen and he can.

"He still lives in Canberra and will still be in Canberra system training with them and will be another traveller with the Pickers."

Hall burst into Young's first grade side in 2018 but after shoulder problems was part of their back-to-back Weissel Cup successes last year, where he scored twice in the grand final win over Gundagai.

He gives Young plenty of versatility in the back line.

"He came to us and was keen as curry," coach Nick Hall said.

"We haven't been training so we haven't got him over or anything but I'm keen to.

"You could play him from wing to prop and he'd go well but I imagine I'm going to put him somewhere where he is going to bring the ball back from the back field and be dynamic."

Hall has also been pleased with the progress Boro Navori is making in his return from a knee surgery required after a Group Nine representative game.

Having no time pressure on his recovery is one of the silver linings to the impact of the coronavirus crisis.

"If anything the one person this has helped is Boro," Hall said.

"He hasn't been missing footy and I wouldn't be surprised that when we start he wasn't ready to go."
