Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart hasn't shown much sympathy for duo Corey Harawira-Naera and Corey Horsburgh after the pair were caught drink driving over the Christmas and New Year period, per The Daily Telegraph.
Harawira-Naera was charged with high-range drink driving after being pulled over by police on Christmas Eve.
The incident is the 25-year-old’s second off-field matter in 12 months, with Harawira-Naera involved in Canterbury’s schoolgirl scandal in March last year.
Horsburgh was charged with low-range drink driving on January 3 after failing a random breath test, registering a reading of 0.053.
While the NRL is yet to hand down any formal punishment for the pair, Horsburgh is expected to miss the Raiders' opening game of the season against Wests, while Harawira-Naera could be suspended for a further two games.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Stuart said all players are replaceable when stating his disappointment in the forward pair.
“It’s not my job to keep a position in this team – it’s their job,’’ Stuart said.
“And they haven’t given themselves a real good head start.
“They know it was a bad choice and very disappointing to say the least.
“One thing in the NRL is, there is always someone to take your spot.
“I’ll leave them to take care of their court case because I’ve got other players that need to be ready for round one.”
