The Canberra Raiders forward has issued a statement after he was accused of disrespecting the Anzac Day ceremony.

“My experience is that away crowds give it to you constantly. “I have the deepest respect for the Anzac Day tradition and it was an honour to be involved in the game on Sunday.” Stephanie Asher, the candidate for the marginal seat of Corangamite in Victoria, apologised on Monday. “I always chew gum before a game and completely forgot it was still in my mouth before I ran out. “Just wanted to post message to say I’m sorry if I offended anyone on the weekend during the Anzac Day ceremony before our game against the Panthers,” Horsburgh wrote.
