This will mean that Zac Lomax will reprise his role in the centres following his starring role in the Dragons 30-12 victory against the Warriors in Wollongong.
The return to fitness of Jack Bird would have given Flanagan a selection headache to ponder, however the Dragons coach has opted to stick with Lomax in centres, rather than pushing him back out to the wing and play Bird in the role.
Instead, Bird has been named reserves after missing last week due to a head knock suffered the week prior.
Lomax recently secured a four-year-deal with Parramatta - beginning in 2025 - after being vocal about his displeasure of playing on the wing.
Despite not wanting to play in the role, Lomax has starred both on the wing and in the centres. So much so that he currently stands on top of the Dally M Medal leaderboard after round seven of the NRL.
In other team news, Fa'amanu Brown earns another shot off the interchange after making his club debut last week.
