The Rabbitohs flyer is the second most experienced player in his side, with 16 of his 21 NRL games coming last season.

He helped Souths to a preliminary final appearance last year and now wants to start their 2019 campaign with a bang on the border up against Riverina.

Graham is looking forward to testing the waters under new coach Wayne Bennett.

"I'm excited to get down there for the first trial," Graham said. "The boys are ready to rip in."

However Graham isn't too sure of what to expect.

There has been a change come over the club with the seven-time premiership winner swapping places with Anthony Seibold.

There's also a very different opponent ready to challenge them.

"We're expecting some tough footy from the country lads we are versing," Graham said.

"Country guys are quite renown for their nitty-gritty and I'm sure they are really going to put us younger fellas to the test.

"I'm really looking forward to it and I think it is great the club is taking trials games out to the country regions and I'm sure they are really excited to rip into us."

He sees it as a good opportunity for the young side to impress Bennett and really push for selection this season.

The 19-year-old made his debut when he was still in high school but really made the right wing position his own last season.

However with a new coach and a few new faces in 2019 his main goal is ensuing he keeps his place there.

"It's quite a competitive back line this season with blokes like Braidon Burns and Robert Jennings putting their best foot forward to cement that spot in the starting back line as well," Graham said.

"For me personally I'd like to get to play some consistent footy for the first grade team and hopefully that comes off the back of training hard and performing well in these trials."

The Rabbitohs take on Riverina at 6pm with the first curtain-raiser at 1.30pm.
