  • "Very keen": Ricky Stuart provides update on Coby Black

    Coby Black quits the Broncos, set to join new club

    Coby Black might join Canberra Raiders earlier than planned due to team needs and changes.

    The Canberra Raiders may welcome Coby Black to the nation's capital a year ahead of schedule.

    Despite there originally being no chance of the move happening before the start of 2027 when Black has already signed with the Raiders, that situation has pivoted in recent days.

    From Brisbane's point of view, Black is out of their long-term plans with Jonah Pezet to arrive in 2027, but in the short-term, Black still may be required with Adam Reynolds at times struggling to stay fit, and Ben Hunt also approaching the end of his career.

    Hunt will also be used in the dummy half role at full strength, and it's something the club may not want to change if needed.

  • 'Fortunate either way': Ricky Stuart's arms open as young Bronco Coby Black pushes for early release

    Sydney Roosters

    Coby Black aims for early Raiders debut in 2026, but Broncos' release remains uncertain.

    Wide World of Sports

    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.

  • Canberra has enough league: Barr's 'brutally honest' defence for not fighting for RLWC games

    ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr explains why hosting Rugby League World Cup games isn't worthwhile for Canberra.

    The Canberra Times

    ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr has revealed the government's "brutally honest" explanation for why it was not worth pushing to host Rugby League World Cup games in Canberra.

    According to Barr there's already enough rugby league played in Canberra as it is with the Raiders, and there wouldn't be enough people attending the tournament to make it a worthwhile investment unless Australia, England and New Zealand were guaranteed to play.

    The stance comes less than a month after Tonga and Samoa played in front of nearly 45,000 in Brisbane in a highly competitive Pacific Championships.
