The St George Illawarra Dragons have emerged as the frontrunners in the race to secure disgruntled Canberra Raiders forward Corey Horsburgh.
Horsburgh, who committed to the Green Machine until 2027 just last year, now appears to be eying an early departure from the nation's capital.
Reports suggest that a strained relationship between Horsburgh and the club prompted his request for a release, with both The Daily Telegraph and The Canberra Times echoing similar sentiments.
Horsburgh's manager, Jeff Jurotte, confirmed that the breakdown in relations has left the young forward eager for a fresh start with a new team.
In the volatile world of Rugby League, where loyalty can sometimes be as fleeting as a perfectly timed tackle, the Dragon's offer may be just what Horsburgh needs to reignite his passion for the game.
Only time will tell if this transfer saga will end in triumph or heartbreak for the ambitious young player.
