Coby Black chooses Raiders over Broncos, aiming for growth as a top NRL playmaker.
Coby Black recently contacted Ricky Stuart to declare, "I'm a Raider," signaling a significant shift in the NRL landscape for the future.
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has touted new signing Coby Black as "the real deal," expressing confidence that the young halfback will mature into a premier playmaker within the club.
Black surprised the Brisbane Broncos by requesting a release at the end of next season, opting for a two-year deal with the Raiders starting in 2027. This decision came in response to the Broncos signing Jonah Pezet, which, as Stuart noted, resulted in a "career-blocking" situation for the Queensland under-19s talent.
