Harry Grant

I keep saying it, but if Harry wants to stay, it will all get worked out. That said, atm I'm not sure he would. Gotta make the finals for any hope imo
 
If Harry goes back - we’re very well equipped we have two of the brightest young hookers in the game in Liddle and Simpkin

It’s not all bad and Brandon Smith would be likely to want out - I’d very much target him aggressively and I think he has a good relationship with Madge and a few of the boys during the kiwis camp so that’s a positive
 
His future is far from sorted. So much riding on what Cam does, and even then if and how much Storm are able to increase their offer to him. There's really no point discussing it until cam decides what he's doing as everyone can only say the default legal overview of the current contractual situation. That's all he's done. And what Ponissi's done.

True, and given we have Liddle and Simpkin, maybe we're in more need of an outside back who can find the try line (Momo) than a hooker next year?

Liddle/Simpkin are worth a go in 2021. We might be able to get Grant back for 2022 if they don't work out.

I want to know who Harry Grant's manager is. He's screwed himself and Harry over. Harry Grant could be a marquee player, but instead he's locked him into chum money for the next 3 years (until the end of 2022).

Yeah terrible deal - you’d think though in order to keep him happy and with all the money they’re expected to receive with several high profile players expected to leave or already have left they’d give him a hefty salary upgrade
 
only way he stays if he wants to, which means we need to perform well for the rest of the season

how hard can that be?:face_with_rolling_eyes:

I know yesterday he said he was going back to the storm, but what else was he going to say.

I have no idea how this plays out, I'm pretty sure Harry doesn't either, but for obvious reasons I want him to stay.

Harry’s still wet behind the ears - Captain? Maybe Under 19s ... we’re sounding really desperate, if Harry’s returning to the Storm then big deal, Liddle has been highly rated by us before Harry came along... I also rate Liddle and let’s put some money into the missing link: SPEED

I hope Liddle gets some game time this year so we can see a direct comparison?
 
Simpkin is literally the perect replacement for Grant...as well as Liddle when he is not injured

Wonder what his passing game from DH is like. Looked like a bit of a ball hog in that clip.

Other way around I'd say Boss.

Here's a highlight from JL

A Wyong Roos junior, Jacob Liddle joined Wests Tigers Holden Cup side in 2015 after featuring for the Australian Schoolboys in their tour of England — impressing greatly in his first year at the club with selection in the NSW U/20's side to face Queensland, before being named the Holden Cup Players' Player of the Year.

Offering the captaincy to a kid whose played less than 10 games. Can you imagine how desperate it would make this club look. What’s the big deal about the captaincy anyway. Romanticism that supporters think the players would care about. The only thing that could keep him here is $$$
 
In reality it was always a loan deal which suited both clubs.
Bonus is that we still have a good promising player for this season that will still give 110% each week and sets a standard for all.
Our Signed hookers should be learning as much as possible, Liddle worries me injury prone but worth another chance.
All reports from Simpkin's are at only 18 best prospect from QLD in a few years and another 2 years on his contract, learn as much off Grant while you can now.

I'm happy to pay him the $$$. The reason I proposed the captaincy is because I don't rate Mbye as one, and as it stands, he'll be our captain next year. I also thought it might be another factor to entice HG to stay.

I'm also desperate to keep a quality player like Harry here.

Tbh, the amount of games played should not dictate whether or not you're captain. Your leadership qualities, influence on the field, and passion should be more of a focus than how many games you've played.
