Coby Black made his NRL debut 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 season's final round. He went over for a try during the Round 27 match, adding a highlight to the game.
The game also carried extra weight 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. The contest was part of a Super Saturday schedule that included several other games.
