  • Former Brisbane prodigy Coby Black on Broncos fallout rumours, dream debut and how Ricky Stuart saved his NRL career

    Former Brisbane prodigy Coby Black on Broncos fallout rumours, dream debut and how Ricky Stuart saved his NRL career

    Coby Black addresses his Broncos exit, praises Michael Maguire, and celebrates his record debut with the Raiders.

    The Australian

    Coby Black is determined not to be a one-hit wonder and says he harbours no bad blood with the Broncos over the shock Red Hill exit that sparked his stunning rise at the Raiders.

    In an exclusive interview with this masthead, Black sets the record straight on his exit from the Broncos, his relationship with Michael Maguire and the move to Canberra that has reinvigorated the rookie playmaker.

    Black is the talk of the rugby league world after his head-spinning feat last week - his 26-point haul in Canberra's 50-30 last-round defeat of the Cowboys was the most points by a debutant in the NRL's 118-year history.

    But there is a sentiment Black should be starring for the Broncos, not the Raiders.

    His move to the nation's capital in pre-season was triggered by Brisbane's decision to sign boom playmaker Jonah Pezet, leaving Black in limbo about his long-term Broncos future.
