Raiders enforcer Corey Horsburgh has lost his appeal to have a ban for a grade one shoulder charge overturned at the NRL judiciary. The Match Review Committee initially gave Horsburgh a three-week ban for a hit on Corey Jensen. However, the failed appeal means he will now miss four matches, effectively ending his season. The panel reached a guilty verdict in just ten minutes, stating that Horsburgh's hit was a clear case of a shoulder charge. Horsburgh's lawyer argued that the contact came from his chest, not his shoulder, but the appeal was unsuccessful.
