IN the penultimate round of NAB League Boys action there are just four games across the weekend as five sides take a rest ahead of the final Round 17 in a fortnight. Tasmania Devils play their last regular season game with talented Under-16 Most Valuable Player (MVP) Sam Banks returning to the squad for the bottom two clash with Geelong Falcons. After losing multiple defenders in recent weeks, the Western Jets will be relieved to welcome back the likes of Lucas Rocci and Josh Kellett, as well as forwards Aaron Clarke and Eddie Ford. For the big clash at Shepley Oval, Sam De Koning and Mitch Mellis return for Dandenong Stingrays and Eastern Ranges respectively, whilst Under 16s talent Charlie Molan comes into the Greater Western Victoria (GWV) Rebels’ line-up for his NAB League Boys debut.
