Coby Black aims for early Raiders debut in 2026, but Broncos' release remains uncertain.
A chance to compete for the vacant No.7 jersey at the Raiders could be on the cards for Coby Black in 2026, but Ricky Stuart is unsure if his looming new recruit will be granted an early release by the Broncos to make that happen.
The 19-year-old halfback is Canberra-bound in 2027, but he is reportedly pushing to see his arrival date to join the squad moved almost 12 months earlier.
Black has been touted as one of the next stars of the game by several league greats, including Darren Lockyer. Not that long ago he looked perfectly positioned to succeed Adam Reynolds in the halves at the Brisbane Broncos.
