Zero Tackle
Canberra Raiders forward Corey Horsburgh has reportedly held preliminary meetings with Brisbane Broncos coach Kevin Walters and toured the facilities at Red Hill.
The middle forward is contracted with the Raiders until the end of the 2027 season, but has been given permission to speak with rival clubs over an immediate move.
That has reportedly led the aggressive forward to have fallen out with coach Ricky Stuart, and both parties now wish to cut the end of his contract as soon as practically possible.

Raiders v Cowboys NRLW preview
High stakes for Cowboys and Raiders as they battle to break into top four. New starters.
League Unlimited
With the halfway point of the season hitting this round, the stakes are high for both clubs who sit outside the top four. A win for the Cowboys puts them well in contention for the pointy end, while the Raiders need the two competition points just to keep pace.
In terms of team news the Raiders lose Monalisa Soliola (shoulder), which sees Kerehitina Matua start in the second row, and Reina Wuruki-Hosea - 18th player for the last several weeks - finally getting a crack and set to debut on the bench. Elsewhere in the Green Machine lineup, Shakiah Tungai is out with Alana Dummett replacing her.
The Cowboys welcome back Queensland Origin forward Makenzie Weale, who has been named on the bench. Out since the opening round with a head injury, she pushes Sareka Mooka out of the side. English import Fran Goldthorp moves to fullback and pushes Krystal Blackwell to the wing.
