Horsburgh looks set to join the Bears. Who else at the Raiders is coming off-contract?
Corey Horsburgh is near finalizing a three-year deal with the Perth Bears after leaving the Canberra Raiders.

Corey Horsburgh has the weekend off and he's close to finalising his future.
After Horsburgh met with Perth Bears coach Mal Meninga on Monday, he's waiting to be sent a three-year deal that would see him join Raiders teammate Morgan Smithies at the NRL expansion club next season.
While the Canberra Raiders have given Horsburgh permission to speak to other clubs, they still have to release him for 2027 - but that's considered a formality given his public falling-out with coach Ricky Stuart.
Horsburgh's been training this week, but he won't play NSW Cup after he was dropped from the NRL side to face Cronulla at Shark Park on Saturday.
His manager Jeff Jurotte said Horsburgh was in a "good headspace" and he praised how Raiders chief executive Don Furner has handled the situation.

Canberra Raiders fans partial to enjoying the catchy cheer for the Green Machine cult hero were no doubt grinning with delight when Sasagi was named to return from injury to play this Sunday for Indigenous Round.
Sasagi's inclusion for the Newcastle Knights clash at Canberra Stadium was one of three changes to the Raiders squad that was thumped by the Panthers in Mudgee last week.
Young second-rower Joe Roddy returns to the NRL for the first time since round nine. The 20-year-old missed several weeks with a broken hand and then was suspended in NSW Cup upon his return.

'I gave him a decision': Ricky reveals the injury choice his young star had to make
Matty Nicholson faced a decision: return through NSW Cup or test his shoulder in the NRL after a four-month rehab.
The Canberra Times
Matty Nicholson had a choice to make.
He could test his rebuilt shoulder out for the first time in four months by easing his way back through NSW Cup.
Or he could bite the bullet and test it out in the NRL.
Nicholson hadn't played since round one when he re-injured his shoulder playing NSW Cup - having initially hurt it during the Canberra Raiders' trials.
