Coby Black made his NRL debut 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, capping his debut in style.
The game also carried extra weight for Canberra. The Raiders were preparing to send a club legend out on a high. Black played his part in the Cowboys' lineup as the NRL regular season came to an end. The contest sat on a Super Saturday card that included several other games.
