The question is will Grant "come out of it soon" or ever? Hamstrings are notoriously re-occurring injuries, being large muscle tears they can often not recover fully and become easier to injure the next time, and then easier the time after. If they can't be fully recovered from then risk mitigation and avoidance are often the only effective treatments. For example in Grant's case that could mean something like avoiding explosive acceleration. Which obviously would drastically reduce his effectiveness from dummy half.

Always a Bulldog

Storm hooker Brandon Smith is set to stay with Melbourne and see out his contract until the end of 2022 at least.

Smith has been linked to the Bulldogs and Titans after requesting a release from the club to pursue a starting role at a rival club given Harry Grant's long-term mortgage on the Storm No.9 jersey.

However The Daily Telegraph reported the Storm are keen to keep Smith in light of Dale Finucane’s decision to join the Sharks on a four-year deal.

The Storm were originally willing to let Smith leave if they could agree on a suitable player swap with an NRL rival.

However given Smith covers the lock position, Finucane’s departure has made him even more vital for the club moving forward.

The 25-year-old cult hero has scored 10 tries in 17 games for the Storm this season and has started the bulk of the games at hooker in light of Grant’s injury troubles that have restricted him to just seven appearances.

The Storm are set to use the money freed up by Finucane’s departure to help secure Smith’s signature for the long-term.

Smith has scored 18 tries in 79 games for the Storm since his debut in 2017 and has also scored two tries in seven Tests for New Zealand.

November 2021 is the time for Gould to turn into GOLD !!!

Gus won’t pay overs, which some idiot club will do if… when… there’s a bidding war for him

The moment Gus walked in the door was the end of any play for Cheese if it wasn’t dead already.

I'm not trying to win anybody over. Popularity is a casualty of honesty. He's not worth the money he would asdk to leave Melbourne. It's really that simple.

Fugg the pessimists...already saw Gus talk about buying players on 100% footy last night, it's based around what their about as a player and person as opposed to the price tag and determining whether their a $$ seeker only..Smith imo is not plays his nuts off for unders week in week out..

It's called planning in advance, something that hasn't been done at our club for many years
Obviously you need to plan in advance but this whole Smith situation is just being desperate. He isn't coming.

Gus would already know if Smith wants to come or not. If not then he would chase others.
