Not for the first time this season, Rohan Smith has some selection headaches ahead of him. Leeds Rhinos are 80 minutes away from Old Trafford and their first Grand Final appearance in five years. In their way are Wigan Warriors.
There are some difficult decisions Smith needs to make. The Rhinos have lost Morgan Gannon to a concussion and Mikolaj Oledzki is also a major doubt following a shoulder injury picked up in the victory over Catalans Dragons. There's no getting away from Oledzki's importance to the Leeds pack, if he's fit to play, there's little doubting he will.
But AC joint injuries, historically, don't heal in a week. We don't quite know the severity of the injury but it's unlikely that it will have healed come Friday. Since Smith's arrival he has always stressed the importance of long-term thinking and has not risked players on a number of occasions, instead preferring to err on the side of caution.
