Pearce missed the win over Young last week but his shoulder is expected to be right to tackle Kangaroos at Twickenham on Sunday.
His returns mean the Blues are almost at full strength with only winger Josh Webb and hooker Lachlan Bristow sidelined as they search for their first title in nine years.
Tumut have won their last six games to move into second, but need to keep winning if they are to secure the minor premiership.
They are one point behind Gundagai, who they tackle next week, however Blues co-coach Adam Pearce isn't getting too far ahead.
"We've got to win this weekend and then we can worry about where we can finish," Pearce said.
"If we lose this weekend we can't push for that number one spot."
Pearce is looking to limit the influence of Kangaroos captain-coach Glenn Dumbrell has in the clash.
Despite leaking late points in their 38-28 win over the Cherrypickers, Pearce believes the team is building nicely as finals approach.
"I think we do a pretty good job with our defence and controlling games defenisvely but slackened off a little last week," he said.
"We've worked on it a bit this week and should be back up to where we usually are."
