Maroons duo Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Moeaki Fotuaika are set to back up against the Eels after the pair joined the squad in Sydney on Saturday.

Returning from Perth late on Thursday, their anticipated inclusions will bolster the side's forward pack that will be without David Fifita who was hoping for a return, but has just fallen short of coming back from ankle surgery.

"I don't think he will make it this week but he is getting close," Hasler said on Thursday.

"We can afford the time and not rush, given the fact that we are halfway through the season... but he is going well."

But in good news for another Fifita, milestone man Jojo has been given the green light for his fractured hand and will return via the centres for his 50th game in the NRL.

The remainder of the side remains as per program with Sean Mullany and Brian Kelly join David Fifita as the three players trimmed from the extended squad - the former duo lining up for the Tweed Seagulls on Saturday.

Kick-off is at 6.15pm on Sunday at CommBank Stadium, Parramatta.
