There are four representatives from the Test match against New Zealand and on top of that, no less than nine of the players were a part of Origin this year.“The PNG tours are some of the most enjoyable trips I have been on, but they are no holiday when you run onto the field.“The PNG boys play a tough and energetic brand of football and they will be well backed by a huge crowd, all willing the home team on.“Whenever you get the chance to visit and play Rugby League in Port Moresby, it’s a special experience and this game will be no different.”Rabbitohs captain Greg Inglis will skipper the Prime Minister’s XIII.Australian Prime Minister's XIII side1 James Tedesco (Wests Tigers)2 Semi Radradra (Parramatta Eels)3 Greg Inglis © (South Sydney Rabbitohs)4 Josh Dugan (St George Illawarra Dragons)5 Blake Ferguson (Sydney Roosters)6 Mitchell Moses (Wests Tigers)7 Mitchell Pearce (Sydney Roosters)8 Aaron Woods (Wests Tigers)9 Jake Friend (Sydney Roosters)10 Ryan James (Gold Coast Titans)11 Boyd Cordner (Sydney Roosters)12 Tyson Frizell (St George Illawarra Dragons)13 Josh Jackson (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs)14 David Klemmer (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs)15 Moses Mbye (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs)16 Dylan Napa (Sydney Roosters)17 Jake Trbojevic (Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles)18 To be confirmedCoach: Mal Meninga

  • That's a pretty damn fine team! I would have liked to have seen Tom Trbojevic in there but a great team.

    Well done Semi.

    • Tom has been carrying an ankle injury for some time and needs an operation. 

  • It's interesting that they are mostly NSW players. Maybe a sign of things to come.
    • You mean NSW being named in a second rate side?
  • Or a sign the Brisbane, NQ and Melbourne are still playing?
  • Pretty good team. Norman could've been in that team if he had not indiscretioned....Mbye.????
  • OK

  • Would have thought Peats could have got hooker if fit
    • He didn't get any better since switching over to the Gold Coast
