13 St George Illawarra Dragons players have been named to represent the two Prime Minister's XIII teams to play Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby on Saturday, October 6.
Four NRL and nine Women's Premiership Dragons players will represent their respective Prime Minister XII teams against the Kumuls and Orchids respectively.
Ben Hunt, Tyson Frizell, Reece Robson and Zac Lomax will represent the men's side with coach Mal Meninga opting for a mix of youth and experience ahead of the junior and senior Kangaroos squads being named in the coming weeks.
They will oppose Dragons winger Nene Macdonald who was named to play for the Kumuls on Tuesday.
"We have struck a good balance by including some of our more experienced representative players to play alongside some very talented young players," Meninga said.
"A strong performance in Port Moresby on Saturday week will go some way to helping decide the final squads we take across to New Zealand for the upcoming Tests."
NRL Holden Women's Premiership octet Rikeya Horne, Shakiah Tungai, Hannah Southwell, Keeley Davis, Asipau Mafi, Talesha Quinn and Holli Wheeler will also represent the Dragons against Papua New Guinea.
Dragons Women's Premiership development player and St George Tarsha Gale Cup representative Aaliyah Fasavalu-Fa'amausili will also play for the Women's Prime Minister's XIII.
