With two of the game's best wingers in front of him, Dragons flyer Yaw Kiti Glymin could've been forgiven for thinking his opportunity would never come.

The Arncliffe junior has played his entire career with the Dragons since first making the club's Harold Matthews squad at 16 and was a standout at under-20s level before joining the NRL squad last year.

But with Brett Morris and Jason Nightingale forming perhaps the best wing combination in the competition, Glymin was facing a long stint in the NSW Cup or looking elsewhere for a shot at the NRL.

That was before Morris' shock departure to the Bulldogs at the end of the 2014 season that's left a host of contenders vying for the right to partner Nightingale in the Dragons' back three this season. After signing a one-year extension to remain with the club this year, the 21-year-old knows he may only get one shot at that coveted left-wing spot.

"Having two internationals who are probably best two wingers in the game and the best in the world in their time ... learning off them back then was good for my game," Glymin said.

"Headspace-wise I didn't think about [playing first grade] too much but now that B-Moz is gone there's an opportunity for everyone to try and cement a spot there, so it's all open at the moment. Everyone's hopped in there on the wing for a bit trying it out and Mary's [coach Paul McGregor] probably getting a fair idea of what he's going to go with come round one and what he wants there.

"I've been training there and wing's my first choice position, so I just can't wait to see what happens throughout the year and I'd love to get first crack for sure. It'd a be a dream come true."

Peter Mata'utia, Charly Runciman, Dane Nielsen and new recruit Eto Nabuli are all options for McGregor for round one, with the Dragons' trial matches likely to decide who gets first shot on the left flank. It's seen some intense competition on the training paddock but Glymin said it hasn't fractured the developing bond in the new-look squad.

"It's definitely competitive but everyone's been good about it," he said.

"Everyone's got different skills and they're all different types of players, so even though there's competition we're learning off each other as well. There's a lot of competition but the boys are feeding off each other well."

Mata'utia, Nabuli and fellow young gun Euan Aitken have all been named alongside Glymin in the Dragons' Auckland Nines squad and will be looking to impress McGregor.

"It's an exciting game and a great game for outside backs, so I'm looking forward to it," Glymin said.
