Todd Payten has ruled Tom Dearden out of Sunday's clash with the Sea Eagles at Brookvale Oval.
"Tom is not fit to play this weekend," said Payten on Friday.
"He's probably two full training sessions short of being right to play."
"He'll get a full week of training next week, with the plan to play against the Dolphins."
Trio Reuben Cotter, Jeremiah Nanai and Murray Taulagi are all set to back up after being a part of the Maroons squad on Wednesday night.
