England stand-off Kevin Brown is poised to make his Warrington debut in front of England boss Wayne Bennett in Saturday's World Club Series.
The former Widnes captain missed Wolves' pre-season friendlies and last Saturday's opening Super League defeat to Catalans Dragons with a hamstring injury.
But Brown is set to face Bennett's Brisbane Broncos - who he coaches in addition to his duties with England - at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
"We are more than likely to give him a crack," said Smith. "We could do with him at the moment. We want to get him into the way of things and get our campaign going."
Warrington will be without centre Toby King, who pulled a hamstring in the 20-12 defeat by the Dragons in Perpignan, which saw him join older brother George on the sidelines, along with long-term injury victims Chris Hill, second rower Ben Currie and full-back Stefan Ratchford.
Former Wigan prop Dom Crosby will need to pass a head test after being concussed against Catalans, while long-serving forward Ben Westwood is available after recovering from a pectoral injury.
Watch Warrington v Brisbane on Saturday. Coverage begins on Sky Sports 1 HD at 7:30pm on Saturday. The World Club Series then continues on Sunday, when Wigan face Cronulla Sharks, with coverage from 2:30pm on Sky Sports 2 HD.
