TIGERS WILL PUSH STORM TO GRANT HARRY A RELEASE
Expect the Wests Tigers to do everything they can within the rules to retain Harry Grant if Cameron Smith decides to play on with the Melbourne Storm.
The Storm have been in damage control this week stipulating how Grant will return to Melbourne irrespective of whether Smith decides to play on.
The only problem might be the salary cap. If Smith continues playing then there goes at least $800,000 out of Melbourne’s cap for next year.
That will be music to the ears of rival clubs queuing up to try and sign young gun number 9 Grant.
The Bulldogs offered Grant a three-year $1 million deal in 2018 – 18 months before he’d even played an NRL match.
BULLDOGS’ BAD REED ON MAHONEY
The latest name to come up on the Canterbury-Bankstown recruitment radar is Parramatta hooker Reed Mahoney, the Sunshine Coast no.9 who the Bulldogs let walk out the door back in 2017.
Back then, it would have only cost the Bulldogs about $5000 to hold on to Mahoney.
Instead, arch-rivals the Eels swooped and Mahoney has continued to evolve his game since breaking into the NRL at the back end of 2018.
The Eels are still very much in the box seat to retain the no.9 who has played every game since the start of last season.
HEAT IS ON FOR MISSING TOP DOGS
The heat is about to intensify on Bulldogs chair Lynne Anderson who has not been sighted off Nobby’s for the entire season.
While coach Dean Pay has been left to answer the tough questions in front of the cameras every week, Anderson and CEO Andrew Hill have been invisible.
We’re flat out getting them on the phone aside from returning text messages saying nothing to see here.
The in-fighting at Canterbury-Bankstown will spill over into a joint board meeting on Thursday where the football club and leagues club boards will get together.
Expect Leagues club chairman George Coorey to be making himself heard.
As it sits right now the Bulldogs are chasing Nick Cotric and John Bateman for next year.
The trouble is all the instability and uncertainty at Belmore around who will be the head coach is the first question all potential recruits want answered
