500k a year?Yh, why not? They get to keep him and Tigers cover his wage for the year giving them cap space. Makes sense.

Grant is still young and I reckon the attraction to be coached under Bellamy and learn off Smith would have made his decision to extend a no brainer. I rather play under a storm system than go to the dogs and play second fiddle to JMK and be coached by Pay.Last time he nearly sign but Melbourne match it and gave top 30 and 2 or 3 first grade
Do you realise they didn't pay because he loan outThere is no way Melbourne paid anywhere near or more than 500k, otherwise he would not of been loaned out to the Tigers
Yep true no bullshit that highly the think of him trust me wasn't the only club showing him the moneySo you’re saying Melbourne dropped half a Mil on a Qld Cup player and then loaned him out to the Tigers for a year?
The storm go above and beyond and this is just another example of it.500k a year?
I understand that but the Tigers had the coin in their stretched cap to accomodate another 500k on a player to fill a hole for 1 season? Or were Melbourne copping some of the freight? The numbers just seem way too high for that scenario. Not saying you’re wrong, my brain just can’t compute it.Yep true no bullshit that highly the think of him trust me wasn't the only club showing him the money
Would rather Blayke Brailey 2022 personally but that's just meSo by the looks of it -
Cameron Smith Titans 2021
Harry Grant & Brandon Smith Storm 2021
Brandon Smith Dogs 2022
Id prefer Sam VerrellsWould rather Blayke Brailey 2022 personally but that's just me
A bloke coming off 2 ACL’s? You are gambling!Id prefer Sam Verrells
When exactly would you have wanted us to offer him that big money deal? We’re not the Roosters and can’t get away with talking to players under contract.I really do NOT understand why we don't/didn't throw 800k? 1M at Harry grant?
He's a world class 9. Please can someone explain to me why the club didn't go after him harder? I know back before he played a first grade game we offered him a 3yr deal worth 1M.
We haven't had a hooker since Ennis, who we gave away for Liecha. I'll stop there before I break my keyboard or my LED monitor.
Harry Grant is the next long term hooker for QLD, the best hooker the NRL has seen since Smith.
Some things i'll never understand....
Yeah I forgot about him, would be a great option aswellId prefer Sam Verrells
He's warming to the task slowly... Despite being in an underwhelming Sharks side he was improving every game and really his only strong runner he could play to was UeleI'm yet to be too impressed with Blayke Brailey tbh. Besides being young I don't see much else going for him. I guess his strengths are ball distribution from dummy half but there's a lot more to the role that he needs to develop. I just want someone who's going to make an impact individually and not just "be there".
They wouldn't need 500k because they sent the centre Paul Momirovski Melbourne so only the difference plus it was only done in march half through NRL pay cycle.I understand that but the Tigers had the coin in their stretched cap to accomodate another 500k on a player to fill a hole for 1 season?

The main reason for the loan was that Grant's contract had a minimum number of NRL appearances and Melbourne knew that they couldn't meet it with CSmith playing on and after trying the halfback stupidity. Which would have meant Grant could escape, plus they needed a backup centre. Hence the swap made sense for Melbourne, they held on to Grant long term, got the back up centre and it cost them next to nothing in net terms.Yh, why not? They get to keep him and Tigers cover his wage for the year giving them cap space. Makes sense.
Nah i like thinking about sexForget grant
No need to keep thinking about something that ain’t gonna happen
