Coby Black might debut for the Raiders this weekend after leaving the Broncos, gaining coach Stuart's support.
Coby Black could finally get his long-awaited NRL debut this weekend after being named in jersey number 18 for the Canberra Raiders, but the young halfback admits he never expected his career path would lead him to the nation's capital.
With Ethan Strange away in State of Origin camp, Black is firmly in the mix to earn a first-grade opportunity should coach Ricky Stuart opt to rest either Ethan Sanders or Daine Laurie.
The potential debut comes almost six months after the 20-year-old made the difficult decision to leave the Brisbane Broncos, a move that left him with a point to prove.
From the moment Black arrived in Canberra, Stuart saw something special.
