The club’s relationship with the town has been cultivated over a long period of time with the Red V having featured in eight clashes at Glen Willow Oval since the start of 2018.
Flanagan has named the same run-on side that took on the Rabbitohs in the Charity Shield a week ago.
Raymond Faitala-Mariner comes onto the extended interchange in his first hit-out since linking up with the club over the offseason whilst Dan Russell also comes in after being a late scratching last week.
Dylan Egan, Savelio Tamale, Alec Tuitavake and Jonah Glover drop out of the squad.
