Coby Black stepped into his first NRL game for the North Queensland Cowboys against the Canberra Raiders on Saturday. With Neame and Nanai sidelined, Black was named in the final squad for the season's final round. He scored a try during the Round 27 match, adding a highlight to the game.
The game meant a bit more for Canberra. The Raiders were preparing to send a club legend out on a high. Black did his job in the Cowboys' lineup as the NRL regular season wrapped up. This game was part of a Super Saturday schedule that included several other games.
