Ash Taylor, AJ Brimson, Brenko Lee and Phillip Sami were included in a 15-man squad.

Broncos forward David Fifita, 18, and North Queensland playmaker Jake Clifford, 20, are newcomers to the squad from their clubs, who have three representatives each.

The squad will train at the Sunshine Coast in a camp late next month under the supervision of Maroons coach Kevin Walters and Queensland Academy of Sport bosses.
