Ricky Stuart denies personal issues with Corey Horsburgh despite dropping him after a controversial match incident.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has denied having any personal animosity towards Corey Horsburgh, despite widespread belief of a relationship breakdown.
Horsburgh was dropped from the Canberra squad this week, after his late-game brain explosion against the Knights drew the ire of Stuart.
The coach publicly slammed Horsburgh's actions, where he slapped Dane Gagai and was sin binned with just seven minutes to go in the round 23 clash.
The 28-year-old was nowhere to be seen in Canberra's team list on Tuesday, but when asked whether it was due to an issue between them, Stuart denied it and said his conversations with Horsburgh had been "comfortable" this week.
