Jarrod Croker, Anthony Milford, Josh Papalii and Jack Wighton have all been rewarded for their superb seasons for the Raiders with selection in an initial Australian Kangaroos train on squad for the upcoming Four Nations Tournament and Prime Minister’s XIII match against Papua New Guinea.
Papalii was a part of last year's World Cup-winning Kangaroos side whilst Croker, Milford and Wighton are yet to represent their country at a senior level.
Each week players will be added to the squad as teams are eliminated from the Finals series and a final squad for the Prime Minister’s XIII will be announced on September 29.
The Prime Minister’s team will play the PNG Kumuls at Kokopo on Sunday, October 12.
