It was one of the many community deeds undertaken by Raiders players away from the public eye and with little to no publicity.
Canberra Raiders star Corey Horsburgh has apologised after he was filmed blowing bubbles while chewing gum as the Last Post played before kick-off against the Panthers.
The Last Post rung out before all NRL games across the long weekend, which culminated with the traditional Dragons vs Roosters game and Melbourne vs the Warriors on Anzac Day itself.

The Women’s Rugby League State of Origin, now viewed as one of the code’s showcase events, is coming to Canberra in June.
The ACT Government successfully bid to host the standalone game, which will be held on Friday night, 24 June, correlating with the men’s second origin match taking place in Perth on Sunday, 26 June.
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said Canberra Stadium’s selection highlighted the growth of the event, with regions outside the home states of NSW and Queensland seeking to host the match.
