The National Rugby League’s Brisbane Bears are in discussions to sign Corey Horsburgh after he is dropped by Canberra ahead of its match against Cronulla. The move is described across multiple outlets as a shift in the Bears’ recruitment focus.
All reports frame the development as Horsburgh becoming available following his omission from Canberra’s team for the upcoming clash. They also note that the Bears’ attention moves from Paulo—an earlier target referenced by the outlets—to Horsburgh, who is portrayed as having been “dumped” or dropped by Canberra.
While the coverage uses similar wording and focuses on the timing of Horsburgh’s availability, the outlets do not provide additional detail beyond the existence of talks and the reason for his availability. None of the sources specify contract terms, medical outcomes, or whether the switch is guaranteed, but they align on the central point: Horsburgh is the subject of Bears discussions after his Canberra omission before the Cronulla game.
