Corey Horsburgh sent off

Corey Horsburgh, a Canberra Raiders player, has been banned for three games after headbutting and punching Jacob Laban during a NSW Cup game, leading to his NRL comeback hopes being further dashed. Horsburgh accepted suspensions for the incidents, restricting his availability in the NRL until round 21. The brawl also involved Warriors players Tom Ale and Laban, resulting in multiple players being sent off. In a separate incident, NRL player Zac Lomax's knee injury forces him to miss an important Dragons match, impacting their top-eight aspirations. Additionally, Stefano Utoikamanu's history with Jared Waerea-Hargreaves adds tension ahead of the Tigers vs. Roosters game, where milestone games for key players and coach Trent Robinson will be celebrated.
