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 confirmed in the final team 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 came to an end. The contest sat on a Super Saturday card that featured several other matches.
