Billy Burns is on the 18-man squad named by Panthers coach Ivan Cleary.

Nathan Cleary and Jarome Luai will direct the team around the park and are joined by fellow NRL regulars Dylan Edwards, Dean Whare, Viliame Kikau and Josh Mansour.

Burns is amongst a host of exciting young talent including Stephen Crichton, Matt Burton, Billy Burns and Daine Laurie also making the trip to Perth.

Our other Parkes player, Darby Medlyn, has been named in the Canberra Raiders squad, captained by Elliott Whitehead.

All 16 NRL teams will turn out in Perth across two days of fast-paced action when the club Nines tournament returns after a two-year absence, away from Auckland for the first time.

All 2020 NRL Nines games will be broadcast live on NRL Live Pass, Fox League and Kayo (Australia).

All the action kicks off at 4pm Friday, February 14 and continues Saturday.
