We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Someone forget to tell Corey Horsburgh redheads don't like the heat.
The Big Red produced a big game in Canberra's 36-degree stinker.
His two tries got the Green Machine over the line against the Cronulla Sharks, winning 24-20 in a nailbiter at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.
Canberra have overcome their growing injury crisis to grab a vital early season NRL victory, hanging on to win 24-20 against Cronulla in a nail-biter at GIO Stadium.
Missing star prop Josh Papalii, Xavier Savage and wingers Nick Cotric and Jordan Rapana, the Raiders lost hooker Danny Levi to a suspected broken jaw just minutes into Sunday’s match but didn’t let that stop them taking the thrilling victory.
They led 24-10 on 56 minutes but had to hang on for dear life at the end, after back-to-back Cronulla tries had the home side threatening to pinch the points before Canberra’s defence...
Corey Horsburgh had the best game of his career in Saturday night's 24-20 defeat, and was in thick of all the action including a flare-up that put Cronulla a man down.
So what did Horsburgh say to cop a swing from ex-teammate Royce Hunt?
It was fitting that Horsburgh had a hot dog named after him at Canberra Stadium because he was on fire.
