Matt Ballin has been named to play in game 200 for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in thier Round 5 clash with the Canberra Raiders at Lavington Sports Ground, Albury.
The iron-man of the Sea Eagles' pack for the best part of a decade, Ballin becomes only the third hooker in Manly's history to play more than 200 games - Fred Jones (241) and Max Krilich (215)
The Easter Saturday game is also the first time the Club will be heading to the Border city, having never previously played in a regional area for premiership points.
Geoff Toovey has been forced to make a few changes from the side that was defeted by St George Illawarra, with Captain Jamie Lyon sidelined through a groin strain and both Feleti Mateo and Josh Starling out with knee injuries.
Brayden Wiliame fills in for the third week in a row in the centres, coming of his first try for the Club, while Tom Symonds earns a recall in to the starting line-up for Mateo.
On the bench, Justin Horo and Ligi Sao have been called back in to the side, while James Hasson has been named 18th man after his three-week stint on the sidelines due to suspension.
