Corey Horsburgh stayed with the Raiders thanks to his daughter and dogs, enjoying a strong NRL start.
Canberra Raiders fans can thank Alina and his two dogs for keeping Corey Horsburgh in lime green.
The Raiders prop revealed he almost left the Green Machine a "few times" last year, but it was his daughter and dogs who kept him in the capital.
And Canberra's reaping the rewards with Horsburgh enjoying a strong start to the NRL season - a start that should've been rewarded with a return to the State of Origin ranks with Queensland.
