The Raiders want Corey Horsburgh to fire his way into the back of Billy Slater's mind in the hope his Queensland omission could be Canberra's gain.

Horsburgh was tipped as a potential bolter in Maroons coach Slater's plans before being overlooked for the State of Origin series opener in Adelaide on May 31.

Tyson Gamble will return to five-eighth and partner Jackson Hastings in the halves.
