Rookie stars Jahream Bula and Sunia Turuva will cap off an incredible season this October, with the pair included in the Fiji Bati 21-man squad for the upcoming Pacific Championships.
Penrith's dynamic winger received the Dally M Rookie of the Year award in the lead up to the NRL decider, before playing a pivotal role in his side's 26-24 victory over the Broncos to secure their third-straight premiership.
Bula on the other hand was a standout for the last-placed Tigers, cleaning house at the club's awards night, and will likely make his international debut against Cook Islands on October 22nd.
Mikaele Ravalawa, Maika Sivo and Waqa Blake headline a list of NRL players included in the squad, while head coach Wise Kativerata has named Storm enforcer Tui Kamikamica as captain.
