Corey Horsburgh was penalized for dissent after his first try, impacting the match against the Storm in Canberra.
Firebrand Raiders forward Corey Horsburgh was penalised for verbal dissent in a moment that swung the early stages of Friday night's clash with the Storm in Canberra.
In the immediate set after crashing over for his first try of the season, a fired up Horsburgh seemingly had choice words for referee Peter Gough after getting up to play the ball - and the whistleblower didn't want a bar of it.
The referee blew his whistle and handed over possession to Melbourne - much to the bemusement of Horsburgh and his teammates, and the amusement of Storm players.
Melbourne had come out with clear intent to harass Horsburgh in defence.
