Hudson Young is maintaining he did not eye gouge New Zealand Warriors youngster Adam Pompey and Canberra coach Ricky Stuart is backing him all the way.

"Hudson wouldn't lie to me, the kid is not a liar, and he's said he didn't gouge him," said Stuart, whose young forward runs the risk of being rubbed out for eight to 10 weeks at a jam-packed night at the NRL judiciary on Tuesday.

Young is set to plead not guilty to the charge, with the Raiders meeting with lawyer Nick Ghabar late on Monday about the merits of asking Pompey to give evidence.

The Raiders claim Pompey would have reacted had he been gouged while they also acknowledged the Warriors winger's social media post which defended Young on Saturday night.
