    Ricky Stuart has expressed his frustration over a pivotal moment in the match against Newcastle, describing Corey Horsburgh's sin bin incident as a "fu***** brain explosion."

    With under ten minutes remaining and trailing by four points, the Canberra Raiders were presented with a crucial chance to equalize when referee Ashley Klein awarded them a penalty against the Knights.

    However, the situation quickly changed when the Bunker intervened, reviewing the incident and determining that Horsburgh had made illegal contact with Dane Gagai.

    This overturned call not only sent Horsburgh to the sin bin, leaving the Raiders a player down, but also significantly damaged their chances of qualifying for this year's finals series.

    Raiders crush Broncos in NRLW

    Canberra stun Brisbane with a 28-4 victory in the NRLW, ending Broncos unbeaten run.

    The Canberra Times

    Canberra have produced the boilover the NRLW season by dominating the previously unbeaten Brisbane 28-4, before Wests Tigers snatched victory from St George Illawarra in the last minute of their nailbiter.

    While Sunday's loss to Canberra came with a devastating record deficit for the Broncos, the Tigers took another step towards a maiden NRLW finals appearance.

    It was cold and wet at GIO Stadium, but the Raiders brought the heat with the coup of the season, completely outplaying the visitors and scoring five tries to one.

    It was Brisbane's first loss of the year and snapped their 15-game unbeaten streak.

    Dominic Young celebrated his 24th birthday by scoring twice, leading Newcastle to a 30-24 win over Canberra, ending their finals hopes.

    The Canberra Times

    A furious Ricky Stuart has labelled forward Corey Horsburgh's decision to slap Dane Gagai as a "brain explosion" and Canberra's NRL finals hopes were finally ended in a 30-24 loss to Newcastle.

    Knowing a defeat would dash the Raiders' ambitions of finishing with a winning record, effectively concluding their top-eight ambitions, the Green Machine's campaign looked alive when Gagai was penalised for initiating a push and shove metres from the Knights' line.

    But the visitors challenged the decision and the bunker found that Horsburgh had slapped the Knights centre and he was sent to the sin bin in the 73rd minute.
