Horsburgh admits he wanted to leave Raiders \u201ca few times\u201d….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Corey Horsburgh has admitted he considered leaving the Canberra Raiders \u201ca few times\u201d during his NRL career. The fiery forward opened up about his emotional struggles and the challenges he\u2019s faced since joining the club in 2019. Known for his passionate on-field persona, Horsburgh said he had moments where homesickness and injuries made him question his future with the Green Machine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were times when I thought about leaving,\u201d he revealed. \u201cI wasn\u2019t in the best headspace, and being away from home made it hard. But I stuck it out and I\u2019m proud I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite the rough patches, Horsburgh has become a fan favourite and a key figure in the Raiders’ forward pack. He credited his teammates and the club’s support staff for helping him stay focused and grow both on and off the field. Now more committed than ever, he\u2019s determined to repay the faith shown in him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His honesty reflects a growing trend in the NRL of players speaking openly about mental health and the pressures of professional sport \u2014 a step toward creating a more supportive culture in rugby league.<\/p>\n\n
