We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Ricky Stuart has earmarked Canberra Raiders' prop Corey Horsburgh as a potential future Queensland State of Origin representative.
The forward, who has a reputation for his hard hitting in the middle third, has struggled with injury over the last three years, but stepped into a starting role on Saturday evening against the Brisbane Broncos.
Playing big minutes, Horsburgh, who has now played more than 60 NRL games, took his game to the next level.
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has revealed Jarrod Croker's return to the NRL was driven by the playing group during the week.
Croker was the surprise addition on Tuesday afternoon when Stuart named his team to play the Brisbane Broncos in Round 6, with the green machine coming away with a surprise 20 points to 14 win at Suncorp Stadium.
The win, just the second of the year for Canberra, also handed the Broncos their first loss of the year.
Leading NRL journalist Ben Dobbin has revealed a key lifestyle detail that could prove Raiders star Jack Wighton is looking to move out from the nation’s capital.
While the Raiders have since tabled a four-year deal reportedly worth more than $1 million per season to keep Wighton, Dobbin revealed the playmaker has since made moves on his Canberra acreage, which could suggest he’s looking to leave.
“I’m joining the dots,” he said on Triple M’s Sunday Sin Bin.
