Ash Handley and Corey Johnson are in contention after injury, but Smith has problems to solve at centre, in the halves and second-row.

Here’s how Rhinos – who won 28-12 at Hull FC last Saturday – could line up for a game they need to win to stay in the Betfred Super League top-six race.

Three tries in two games against Wigan so far this year and will be keen for more. (Photo: Ed Sykes/SWpix.com)

Missed last week's win with a foot injury; if he returns a switch to centre might be on the cards with Nene Macdonald and Luis Roberts unavailable and Rhyse Martin potentially playing elsewhere. (Photo: Ed Sykes/SWpix.com)

Has done a solid job in the last couple of games since his recall. If he plays, it's likely to be on a wing, hence Handley at centre. (Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com)

Another tricky decision. Rhinos have problems in all three positions Martin has played this year. Corey Johnson is back in the squad and could be at six, but Martin played there last week and Smith may opt for continuity. (Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com)

Also an option at prop or off the bench, but for the sake of continuity he may continue in the second-row against the team he will join next year. (Photo: Ed Sykes/SWpix.com)

Wigan's loss last year was Rhinos' gain and this is another chance for him to show his hometown club what they are missing. (Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com)

Was starting at stand-off before missing a couple of games through injury. Smith likes to bring players back off the bench and he could cover hooker or number six. (Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com)
