Winger Bill Tupou is the latest Warriors grand finalist to be added to New Zealand's Four Nations touring party.
Tupou replaces clubmate Krisnan Inu, who was brought into the squad as one of three replacements after Manu Vatuvei, Shaun Johnson and Steve Matai were ruled out on medical grounds.
The Kiwis meet Australia in a one-off Test in Newcastle on Sunday before travelling to England for the Four Nations tournament beginning in Warrington on October 28.
Inu withdrew on Monday for personal reasons.
Tupou joins fellow Warriors' Kevin Locke, Lewis Brown, Russell Packer, Simon Mannering, Ben Matulino and Elijah Taylor in the Kiwis squad.
After 12 matches in his rookie NRL season in 2010, Tupou made 17 appearances this year, scoring five tries.
