Halfback prodigy delivers attacking masterclass; Warriors find a hidden gem - Ressies Wrap
Coby Black, a former Broncos player, excelled with the Raiders, showcasing his talent with a standout performance against Manly.
Fox League
A member of the Brisbane Broncos pathways since the age of 12, Coby Black shocked the rugby league world at the end of last year when he decided to depart the club and link up with the Canberra Raiders.
Considered a halfback prodigy by many, the Under-19s Queensland Maroons representative had his most complete performance for the Raiders over the weekend since making the move to the nation's capital.
Likened to Adam Reynolds, Black's attacking prowess was on full display as he crossed for a double, had one line-break and provided one try assist as the club defeated the Manly Sea Eagles 35-16.
The good performance is certain to put pressure on the club's first-grade incumbent half Ethan Sanders, with both players set to have long-term futures in the NRL competition.
"I see a good organising halfback in Coby," Raiders coach Ricky Stuart said about Black at the end of last year.

Nine times Young said he was "excited" to be back in a sky blue jersey when interviewed after his Origin selection, such is his unmatched passion for the Blues.
He's no stranger to the State of Origin stage, having worn the sky blue jersey six times since his debut in 2023.
But despite consistently earning selection through his dominant performances for the Raiders, over the past three series Young hasn't yet had the joy of hoisting the Origin shield, as he's been in and out of the squad, and often featured off the bench.
