Emerging Canberra Raiders star Edrick Lee will play the rest of the season with a heavy heart after the death of a close family member.

The 19-year-old winger continued his impressive rise into the NRL with his first-ever career hat-trick in Saturday night's 40-12 thumping of the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park.

While his finishing ability has been first class, Lee committed several defensive errors under the high ball in the Raiders' 40-18 loss to the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville a fortnight ago.

What any of us didn't know was he learned of the death of a family member only days before the clash.
