We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Corey Horsburgh has some of the best skills for a forward Jack Wighton has ever seen, but it's the trust his fellow Canberra Raiders have in him that makes him ready for State of Origin.
Wighton, who retired from the Origin arena in the lead-up to the current series, backed Horsburgh to come into the Queensland side for the final game of the series.
Brisbane Broncos prop Tom Flegler has a Lisfranc injury in his foot that's set to rule him out of Origin III, and potentially the season.
Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy has shut down talk of a return to the NSW Origin arena, declaring he isn't interested.
Amid talk current Blues coach Brad Fittler faces the axe after losing three of the past four series, Bellamy has been floated as a possibility.
Canberra coach Ricky Stuart, NSW assistant and ex-Dragons coach Paul McGregor and even former Wallabies coach Michael Cheika have also been touted as possibilities.
Read on for the latest news from around the grounds in Canberra sport. We've got a fireworks in the stadium war, a Queanbeyan trainer rubbing shoulders with the king and a man in demand.
At some point, the rhetoric goes, you have to "realise you're being taken for fools if you keep believing what Andrew Barr is saying".
But the Canberra Stadium war is over, isn't it? We're getting a new stadium, even if it is in Bruce, where clubs don't want it. And we're getting it in 10 years, even if we've heard that before.
