Self-confessed Canberra “grub” Corey Horsburgh says he’s relishing the prospect of cutting a Melbourne pack spearheaded by Nelson Asofa-Solomona down to size in Saturday’s NRL elimination final.

Horsburgh was in the thick of the action once more as the Raiders stamped their ticket to the finals with a 56-10 win over Wests Tigers on Sunday.

The 24-year-old prop had a few run-ins with Tigers forward Zane Musgrove and is expecting another onslaught when the Raiders travel to AAMI Park on Saturday.

Asofa-Solomona has been treading a fine line with his on-field discipline and Horsburgh was excited about the confrontation with the Storm pack.

“I love going on and trying to lift the boys,” he told AAP.

“Me and Emre (Guler) know that’s what we have to do.

“We go out there and play our game. And I guess that’s what I’m good at – being a grub.

“He (Asofa-Solomona) is a big scary fella, he’s athletic as well and it’s always a good challenge going up against him.”

Horsburgh has never beaten Melbourne at home but ever since he made his first-grade debut in 2019 the Raiders have four wins from four at AAMI Park.

“I’ve actually never lost there,” he said.

“We got them twice in 2019 and then once in 2020.

“The boys beat them there this year too. I missed that one with pneumonia but it looked like they had fun.

“It’s a great challenge and it’s a good record but that means nothing now.”

Horsburgh hasn’t played finals since Canberra reached the decider in 2019.

Injuries curtailed his promising career in 2020 before the Raiders failed to make it into the top eight in 2021.

“I’ve really enjoyed the year and getting through it with no injuries,” he said.

“I had my lisfranc, shoulder and wrist and feel like I’ve enjoyed my footy and found some form again.”
