Ten Panthers players have been named by their respective nations ahead of the 2026 Rugby League World Cup semi-finals.
The penultimate week of the tournament will see New Zealand face Tonga on Saturday, before Australia meet Samoa on Sunday. The two winning sides will advance to next week's World Cup Final.
New Zealand have included Casey McLean, Moses Leota, Isaiah Papali'i and Scott Sorensen in their squad, while Tonga has listed Paul Alamoti as a reserve after he missed their final group match.
Australia has named both Liam Martin and captain Isaah Yeo to start, with Lindsay Smith among the Kangaroos' reserves. Brian To'o and Izack Tago are set to take their usual places in Samoa's backline.
