The Canberra Raiders' new trimmed-down, mobile pack will get an early chance to test themselves against former Green Machine big bopper Junior Paulo.
Parramatta and the Raiders confirmed they'll play a pre-season trial against each other at St Marys Leagues Stadium on February 15.

It will be the first time the teams have faced each other since Paulo left Canberra to return to the Eels at the end of the 2018 NRL season.
Raiders back-up hooker Siliva Havili revealed they'd switched tack, going for a more mobile pack following the departures of Paulo and Shannon Boyd.
The Raiders will have two pre-season trials next year, with the second one likely to be against the Canterbury Bulldogs in Bega on February 23 – although that's yet to be fully confirmed.
They'll then have three weeks until their season opener against the Gold Coast Titans on the Gold Coast on March 17.
