Coby Black discusses his departure from the Broncos and thanks Ricky Stuart, as he prepares for his NRL debut with Canberra.
Former Broncos prodigy Coby Black has lifted the lid on his explosive departure from Brisbane and thanked Canberra coach Ricky Stuart for helping save his NRL career.
Black, 20, is set to make his NRL debut for the Raiders on Saturday after being named 18th man for Canberra's clash with Parramatta in Sydney.
A potential first grade debut this weekend will cap a dramatic seven months for the former Queensland under-19s Origin halfback.
A Gold Coast junior, Black was signed by the Broncos as a 15-year-old and groomed to be captain Adam Reynolds' successor in Brisbane's famous No. 7 jersey.
However, the Broncos suddenly went cold on him last year and signed Melbourne playmaker Jonah Pezet to a long-term contract from 2027, following his one-season pit stop at Parramatta.
