    Corey Horsburgh's tumultuous time at Canberra Raiders may end following conflicts with coach Ricky Stuart. Consistency remains an issue.

    Wide World of Sports

    Corey Horsburgh's time at Canberra appears to be up, after his rocky relationship with coach Ricky Stuart reached boiling point last weekend.

    The enigmatic front-rower has endured a rollercoaster tenure with the Raiders since bursting onto the scene seven years ago, playing 22 matches in his rookie season and featuring in the side's grand final loss to the Sydney Roosters.

    Horsburgh clearly possessed the talent and aggression to become one of the game's elite big men, but has failed to find consistency and struggled to tiptoe the delicate line between being a game-changing enforcer and letting his emotions become a detriment - either to himself or to his Raiders teammates.

    Six years ago, Horsburgh was taken from the field with an injury and flipped the bird towards the crowd at Parramatta. It was the first glimpse into a player who wears his heart on his sleeve, but wasn't able to contain his emotions.

    NRL fans are once again calling for the clock to be stopped after a try with Sandon Smith taking his time in the final minutes of the Knights' win over the Raiders. The Newcastle Knights won a brutal 30-24 contest against the Raiders to cement their place in the Top 8 with four rounds to go.

    The defeat also ended the Raiders' hopes of playing finals footy with last year's minor premiers now entrenched outside the Top 8. However, plenty of Raiders fans were left frustrated when Smith took his time to attempt a conversion with just a minute remaining.
