Ikin: Harry Grant "not developed"

[ElleryHanley]

I will delete this as a few people have said maybe I interpreted it wrongly, and that is fair enough. I always believe in the benefit of the doubt, and thus applying it here.

The thread has turned into a debate / discussion of NRL on Fox anyway, so the original post is not overly relevant.

Some great posts and comments below, all appreciated...

Anyone just catch that on 360?

They were raving about Harry Grant...and then mentioned he has not played 80 all year, but still slayed them last year etc etc...

And Ikin chimes in with "off the back of a season he was not developed. Wests Tigers" and looked at Kent waiting for a nod.

Why mention it here? Well, if that is the perception...no wonder we have problems recruiting.

**Grant was very well developed at the club last year IMO. His game went from QLD Cup to Origin.**

Side note: I am old enough to 'remember' Ikin's career. Basically he was a state cup player who got a break when the NRL SL war erupted and had about 2 good games. Failed, crumbled, every single time in finals and quickly disappeared. Not really sure how he has been allowed to become a FOX 'expert'.

Did Kent give him the nod ?

He should have given him the bird!

I think he said at the club "he was not developed at."
Hence he is that good he can play 80 an d be good anywhere. That's how I interpreted it.

I just watched it back "at the club he was not developed. (Sly grin). The wests tigers" (looks at Kent for approval). It looked def like a shot at us.

Hopefully it was not a shot. I have criticised us a lot here, but one thing Madge and co did get right was Harry Grant.

Agree. He was all potential when he joined us and ended up rookie of the year SOO winning hooker. Not a bad first season in the NRL.

I will give him the benefit of the doubt if Telltails is correct.

It looked like a shot though. On a related note, not sure why Hooper always takes shots also...he is an old time Balmain man!

150 NRL games and 17 SOO

I would killed and maimed for that career

Wouldn't put it past him to have a pot shot at the WTs either - it wouldn't be the first time.

I’ve given up on the show all they do is look for drama and try and stir people up
If they actually looked at games and broke down game plans it would be so much more interesting

 

[tony soprano]

Harry grant been with Melbourne for ages and 1 season with us neither team can keep him injury free he plays the game in unsustainable way for his body to cope. Just like papz

Well, if he played 17 I def don't remember them all hah 🙂 I just remember his games with Vautin as coach and all the failed Bears semis. They did fail a 'lot' in the that era when it counted.

Yes, they used to be really good...but making it nightly has meant there is nowhere near enough content / issues to discuss. It would be great as a Monday recap + midweek discussion type show.

The Monday night show on 9 is better IMO .
Although it’s on too late .

Sterlos wrap is great for breakdowns of play and highlighting effort ares and Freddy and the eighth is good for a good old laugh

Did the club knock him back on a position here? He seems to have it in for us?

 

[Russell]

Maybe they could have discussed something relevant like....

Why did Cummins before the start whistle, decide that Newcastle

was going to win the game on Sunday and did everything possible

to make sure it happened.

The guy should be banned from refereeing for life.

Glad we haven't got him this week.

NRL360 is a terrible show. Dunno how many times we have to go over this. I'm surprised people are still watching it after the way the club was trashed during the year Aaron Woods was their weekly guest.

Ikin won a premiership in 2000
