Broncos fans doubt pursuing Corey Horsburgh after his crucial sin-bin cost Raiders against Newcastle.
Broncos fans are questioning the club's reported pursuit of Corey Horsburgh after the Raiders forward was sin-binned in their NRL loss to Newcastle on Sunday. Horsburgh was given 10 in the bin with just seven minutes remaining, allowing the Knights to prevail 30-24.
The score was 26-24 when the Raiders were awarded a penalty near the posts that would have allowed them to level it at 26-26. But the Bunker official found that Horsburgh had struck Dane Gagai in the head with an open hand and he was sin-binned as a result.
Speaking after the match, Canberra coach Ricky Stuart was fuming over Horsburgh's indiscretion. "We should have gone 26-all and there was a brain explosion. It was a f***ing brain explosion, and we lost the opportunity," Stuart said.
"There was one last week or the week before with Alex Twal. Everyone knows you're not allowed to do that. We lost the start of the season because we were self-entitled and undisciplined and we lost the opportunity to continue trying to make the semis."
