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 confirmed in the final team for the contest. He went over for a try during the Round 27 match, capping his debut in style.
The game also carried extra weight for Canberra. The Raiders were preparing to send a club legend off with a win. Black played his part in the Cowboys' lineup as the NRL regular season wrapped up. The contest sat on a Super Saturday card that featured several other matches.
