The Prime Ministers XIII team announced this week had no names from the Digicel ExxonMobil Cup.
This led to many questions from fans on social media.
PMs XIII and Kumuls Coach Jason Demetriou explained that since the Rugby League World Cup is coming up next year, he is using the PMs XIII to prepare for World Cup selection.
Players in the current squad are from the Hunters, other Q-Cup teams, the NSW Cup, the NRL and the Super League, competitions ranked higher than the Digicel ExxonMobil Cup.
He also mentioned that he was working on arranging a fixture with Lebanon to give opportunities to local players from the domestic competitions, but plans did not work out.
