Coby Black stepped into his first NRL game for the North Queensland Cowboys against the Canberra Raiders on Saturday. With Neame and Nanai unavailable, Black was named in the final squad for the contest. He scored a try during the Round 27 match, capping his debut in style.
The game also carried extra weight for Canberra. The Raiders were getting ready to send a club legend off with a win. Black did his job in the Cowboys' lineup as the NRL regular season wrapped up. The contest sat on a Super Saturday card that included several other games.
