Ricky's pre-season trial revealed fierce competition for Canberra Raiders' centre spots, highlighted by strong performances from players like Michael Asomua and Mark Tuialii.
Ricky wanted an outside backs battle. And he's got one.
Canberra Raiders centre spots were especially up for grabs this pre-season with the likes of Savelio Tamale and Simi Sasagi throwing their hats in the ring.
If there was anything to take out of the Green Machine's opening pre-season trial - which they won 32-6 over the Melbourne Storm at Seiffert Oval on Friday night - it's that competition amongst the outside backs is red hot.
Xavier Savage (best man duties) and Matt Timoko (knee) were the only "OB's" unavailable to face the Storm.
