It is a concern if he's already injured after just coming back.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Heres my prediction for the game

We play the same team as last week barring ISA who is replaced by partington in the centres

starts with the same pack and shorrocks at 9 again we get 20 put up us in the first 15mins and he brings bullock on for 1 carry then decides he had enough for the day and takes him off again. Singleton comes off the bench but its decided he will play only as a dummy runner and never carry the ball. at 35mins we get a penalty and go for 2, we are on our own 20m line but seems like its worth a punt, but instead of smith taking it the kicker for the day will be shorrocks. Leeds run in another 10 before half time.

in the second half we a 40-0 down hastings has taken to playing 9 and passing to himself at 6 and then tipping it off to himself at prop and driving it in. on 53 minutes Hardaker randomly sprints off the line and drop kicks myler in the head and is sent off he complains to the referee. Bullock appears on the pitch but only as the water carrier after mitch clark is rested from his first half water runs. at 58mins jai field breaks down the pitch he gets to the opponents 20 with 1 man to beat however the 2 supporting wigan players appear disorientated with their surroundings get nose bleeds and faint, jai goes beats the last defender on his own but then gets the call from the bench to go for a drop goal - he misses. on 78mins Amir borough comes on but we are defending at the time so he doesnt actually touch the ball in the game Lam calls him the man of the match in his post match interview and stresses how nicely things are building for the Grand Final preparations and that we werent far off today
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

I feel that Harry Smith is struggling in a pivot position,I'm not sure if it's because he is playing behind a beaten pack,or that he lacks the guile to move us around.If you look at our pack it could nearly be the one that should have won us the grand final last season.Instead of keep playing such a young player as smith in a key position we should look to an alternative,and reintroduce him when we can.If you look at hull kr they are running with a back rower at present to great effect.I also feel that John Bateman should be given a run at centre a position that he has played before for England.We have the players who could turn this around if managed the right way.i would go with
Hardaker
Bibby
Bateman
Gildart
Marshall
Field
Hastings
Singleton
Powell
Partington
Farnell
Kpp
Shorrocks

Havard
Club
Smith

In fairness he’s posted nothing since the 29th of June on Instagram but I certainly thought and the club keep confirming he’s home in Australia.

Could it be his double that is being seen in the Wigan area?and is he fit and can he play?
