Canberra coach Ricky Stuart said he was unlikely to pick forwards Corey Horsburgh and Corey Harawira-Naera in round one after they were recently involved in off-field incidents.

Stuart said while the pair will both have their day in court, he added they had ultimately left their positions in the 17 in severe jeopardy.

Horsburgh will appear in the ACT Magistrates Court on February 23 to face a charge of low-range drink-driving over an alleged incident on Christmas Eve.

Harawira-Naera will also appear in the ACT Magistrates Court - he has been charged with high-range drink-driving over an alleged incident on Christmas Day. He is due to appear on March 25.

"It is disappointing but it's not my job to be keeping their spot in the 17," Stuart said on Thursday.

"That's their job and they've made it harder for themselves. They're upset with themselves and have put themselves on the back foot.

"They know it was a bad choice. I've left it, they've got their court cases pending.

"We've got others in the footy team I've got to try get ready for game one. It won't be a disturbance. There will be somebody else there to take their spot.

"We've got plenty of depth and it just gives somebody else an opportunity."

UPDATE

Stuart's options in the forward pack to replace the duo includes new recruit Ryan James and Emre Guler, who have both overcome injuries.

Englishman Ryan Sutton is also among those who will be pushing for a spot in round one.

The Raiders coach will get a better indication of where his squad is at when the club hosts the Roosters in their only pre-season trial at Seiffert Oval on February 27.

"We keep changing our off-seasons up and are always looking to keep adding and finding that extra one percent," Stuart said.

"Where these guys have given themselves an advantage is that they did work away on their break.

"This is the stage of the off-season now they're excited that footy is around the corner."

CHN has plenty of talent. The next batch of second rowers will come thru and take his place before he pulls his head in.
The big sook Horsebreath is easily replaced

 

[Heckler]

Fool me once, Fool me twice!

 

[boggie23]

Guy is a no hoper. The issues just follow him from club to club. Talent to make it. But attitude to get him locked up.

Should pull his head in. Glad he isn’t here anymore.

 

[oldpuppy]

Shocked! We never saw this coming.

[bradyk]

Hmmm... CHN trying to derail another teams season before it begins. Too bad he's not that important to the Raiders, they're stacked in the forwards and he's a benchy.

 

[doggieaaron]

The way he treated us after he did the wrong ill never forget,karmas a bitch

 

[B-Train]

We'll see if the poor victim CHN asks for a release now because he's been unfairly treated.

 

[Jai81]

cant believe I used to rate CHN... what a dropkick

 

[The DoggFather]

The guy is a proven dumb fuck.

I'm glad he isn't our problem anymore.

 

[Matilida]

looks like the original decision was correct by the bulldogs.

 

[DinkumDog]

We'll see if the poor victim CHN asks for a release now because he's been unfairly treated.

For a ‘fresh start’ outside the ACT .

DRINK DRIVING...JUST PLAIN STUPIDITY!! I couldn’t give two hoots about his footy career. I have had 2 very close friends killed by drunk drivers, one got hit by the car while crossing a green light and the other got hit straight in the drivers door while coming back from work. She was only 29! He is lucky I am not the coach because I would have banned him for the whole season!

A friend who played on my basketball team got a scholarship to play for a university in the US. He moved there, meet a girl and was excited about his future in the US. One night, He and his girlfriend went out to dinner and to the movies. Walking his girlfriend back home a drunk driver drove up on the footpath straight towards them. My friend managed to push his girlfriend out of the way but he was unfortunately killed in the process of protecting her.
