New Zealand have called up six uncapped players for the World Cup Nines in Sydney.
Parramatta Eels rookie Dylan Brown, Canberra Raiders' Bailey Simonsson and Cronulla Sharks prop Braden Hamlin-Uele join a trio of Canterbury Bulldogs players in the 16-man selection.
Corey Harawira-Naera, Reimis Smith and Jeremy Marshall-King are the three Bulldogs to make the cut.
New Zealand Warriors also have three players in the squad, with Leeson Ah Mau, Ken Maumalo and Kodi Nikorima in the mix.
NRL Grand Final runners-up Canberra Raiders can match that tally, with Jordan Rapana and Joseph Tapine set to feature alongside Simonsson in the inaugural edition of the tournament, which begins next week.
New Zealand will face Australia, the United States and Papua New Guinea in Pool A.
