The rugby league community is rallying around Canberra Raiders star Corey Horsburgh following heartbreaking news that he is mourning the death of his only loved one, a loss that has left teammates, fans, and the wider NRL world deeply saddened.

Earlier today, Horsburgh shared the devastating news, prompting an outpouring of sympathy and support from across the sport. Known for his toughness and relentless energy on the field, the Raiders forward is now facing an unimaginable challenge away from the game.

An Outpouring of Support

Messages of condolence have flooded social media, with fellow players, clubs, and supporters offering their love and strength during this painful time. The Canberra Raiders organization also expressed its support, standing firmly behind Horsburgh and his family as they grieve.

In moments like this, rivalries fade, and the sport comes together as one community—reminding everyone that players are people first.

Football Takes a Back Seat

While Horsburgh has built a reputation as one of the Raiders’ most passionate and hard-working players, football understandably takes a back seat in the face of such personal tragedy. The focus now is on compassion, privacy, and allowing time to mourn.

The club is expected to provide Horsburgh with all necessary support, with no pressure regarding his return to the field.

Standing With Corey

This tragic loss serves as a sobering reminder of life beyond sport. Fans and fellow players alike continue to send strength, love, and condolences to Corey Horsburgh and his family during this incredibly difficult period.

The thoughts of the entire rugby league community are with him. 💚🏉
