Head coach Shane Flanagan included new recruits Kyle Flanagan, Tom Eisenhuth, Christian Tuipulotu and Jesse Marschke in the 28-man squad for the game at Kogarah.
Fellow recruits Hame Sele and Raymond Faitala-Mariner will sit out Saturday night's clash due to minor pre-season niggles.
Tyrell Sloan will wear the same No.1 jersey he occupied for all but one game a year ago while, as forecast in summer, Jack Bird has moved back into the centres and pushed Zac Lomax to the wing.
Flanagan joins captain Ben Hunt in the halves with Eisenhuth teaming up with Jaydn Su'A - who missed the final eight games of 2023 with a shoulder issue - in the second row.
The extended interchange includes the likes of Viliami Fifita, Dylan Egan, Savelio Tamale, Sione Finau, Ryan Couchman and Alec Tuitavake.
