Teen sensation Coby Black shines in record-breaking rugby league victory

Teen sensation Coby Black has set the rugby league world on fire with a jaw-dropping performance for the Burleigh Bears, scoring a whopping 46 points in a record-breaking 130-0 victory over the Wide Bay Bulls.

The 18-year-old prodigy showcased his immense talent by notching up two tries and an incredible 19 successful conversions, falling just short of a 50-point individual haul. Black’s stellar performance was a key factor in the Bears’ dominant display, with teammates Sunny Kama and Disharne Tonihi also shining with four tries each, and Phillip Coates completing a hat-trick.

The Burleigh Bears’ demolition job in the Queensland Rugby League’s Mal Meninga Cup competition left fans and pundits in awe, as they piled on 70 unanswered points in the first half and continued their onslaught with 23 tries in the second half.

While the record-breaking victory shattered all first-tier state league records, rugby league history has seen more one-sided affairs, with notable blowouts like the York City Knights’ 144-0 thrashing of the West Walsh Raiders in 2018.

Black’s remarkable performance has drawn comparisons to Panthers legend Greg Alexander, who scored 46 points against France B in 1990. The talented youngster is highly regarded at the Broncos and is seen as a potential successor to star halfback Adam Reynolds.

With Black’s star on the rise, the Burleigh Bears are now eyeing a strong finish to the season and a shot at the finals. As CEO Damian Driscoll noted, the team’s impressive performance has put them in contention for a top spot on the ladder.

As Black continues to make waves in the rugby league world, all eyes will be on the young talent as he looks to fulfill his potential and make a name for himself in the sport. Remember the name, Coby Black – a future star in the making.
