Round 16 team: Returning Fifita's spell double trouble for Eels
Milestone man Jojo Fifita is set to return from a fractured hand for the Titans' trip to Sydney to face the Parramatta Eels on Sunday night.
Coming back for his 50th NRL appearance after missing the past fortnight, the 22-year-old is one of two Fifita's named in the 22-man squad with David also a chance of playing his first NRL game since Round 8 after being included on the extended bench to come back from ankle surgery.
Brian Kelly has been moved to the reserves with Jojo's inclusion in the centres; whilst Maroons duo Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Moeaki Fotuaika have also been named to back-up from Origin - the pair listed on the bench with their fitness to be reviewed upon their return from Perth after Wednesday night's clash.
Kick-off is at 6.15pm on Sunday at CommBank Stadium, Parramatta.
