Ethan Strange, Bradman Best, Keaon Koloamatangi and even Eels star Mitch Moses will line up today.
Moses was a late call up for Brad Schneider and will come off the bench while Koloamatangi will captain the side.
Young playmaker Jayden Campbell gets his chance to shine at rep level. He’ll lead the side around in the No. 7 jersey.
“The squad has a really strong mix of experienced representative players and some of the best young talent that we saw showcased in the NRL this season,” coach Kevin Walters said.
“There is a lot of strike across the park with the likes of Ethan Strange, Jye Gray, Bradman Best and Jason Saab and some real power and mobility upfront, led by Keaon Koloamatangi.
“I’m excited to get to work with the team this week and put on a great display in Port Moresby on Sunday.”
The PNG PM XIII features several NRL stars, including Jack De Belin, Cowboys winger Rob Derby and emerging Titans forward Cooper Bai.
Kick off is at 4:05pm AEDT and will be live on Fox League and Kayo.
