Rebels ruckman Harry Bowden plus Outlaws duo Tim Hunter and Simon Ross made their 50th appearance for the Bushrangers.
Bowden, who began his career with the club as an Auskicker, marked the occasion with a typically strong performance in the midfield alongside Joel Ryder and Bill Watterson.
He was also amongst the players to boot a major as Rebels downed the Dubbo Demons.
“It’s a great effort, he’s only 21-years-old Harry and already probably the premier ruckman in the competition,” Rebels co-coach Steve Grundy said.
“It’s scary the day that he realises that, it’s scary to think how good he’s going to be.”
Ross first joined the club in 2014 and celebrated by winning a premiership with the reserve grade outfit. He also played six games in first grade that season
Hunter came to Bushrangers from Broken Hill, making his debut in 2010.
While not playing in 2012-13, he has certainly made his presence felt in the forward line.
Hunter has consistently been amongst the leading scorers – booting 112 majors in 2014 – and this season has kicked 21 goals in five games for Outlaws.
