The North Ballarat Rebels have made two changes for their must-win Round 17 clash against the Eastern Ranges.
The Rebels, who moved into fourth position with a win over the Northern Knights last week and who must defeat the Ranges this week to retain fourth spot and the double chance in the upcoming finals series, have allowed Trent Reed and Jackson Taurau to return to their home clubs, giving opportunities to two hungry players in the lead-up to finals.
Forward Joe Harrison returns to the side from injury this week, and with South Warrnambool's Mar Gattek, who was set to make his debut this weekend, struck down by illness once again, Seymour and Ballarat & Clarendon College's Tom Hedley has been selected for his Rebels debut as 23rd man.
The selected side is listed below...
