**SERIOUSLY IF ANYONE IS WONDERING WHETHER THIS IS WORTH THE RISK THEN WATCH THE TRY HE SCORES AT THE 1 MINUTE MARK ON THIS VIDEO**

The clip didn't prove or disprove Grant as a player…being fast isn't necessarily the key to success & it's not a particularly taxing play for him.

The clip did prove however that the reporter, Louise, is one smoking Hottie.

he is pretty quick, which is something that we've lacked, but could be good and won't cost us a lot to find out

He looks big and fast. We need both of these attributes especially on the wing or at fullback. I hope he has signed and Sheens puts him straight into first grade.

I've watched him for a couple of years now and he gets better as he gets older,his quick good under the high ball,defence is not league but I'm sure the coaching staff at the Tigers will sort that out…also he can in general play....this is himhttp://procarlos.photoshelter.com/search?I_DSC=john+grant&I_DSC_AND=t&_ACT=search

He has signed, is in the telecrap today, a one year deal.

he is a big boy it looks like he put on a bit of weight this year …maybe sheens has him earmarked as a center

Guys any of our NYC wingers would of scored that try . He had the ball dropped on his chest with no defence in front of him and just had to run . Lets see how he goes marking Vatuvei ,Yow Yeh etc before we get carried away .

 

[tigerbenji]

Said in the Smelegraph that we have signed him for 12 months, but i hope we bring him along slowly & dont rush him.

oh i hope not!! we already have a number of awesome halves - Siro, Miller and Benji!!

 

[tigerbenji]

Very, very overated player is Mortimer, i hope it is just a rumour, but i think we still need to find a fullback & a frontrower still for next year.

daniel mortimer is definately a player we DONT need ! i have seen some of state cup games on fox and he certainly aint setting the world on fire in that competition. next rumour please

I hope we are looking at players like Daniel Vidot and Josh Miller from Canberra.

Tom Humble and Shane Shackleton from Parramatta.

Agree with need a full back and another prop to compliment Galloway, Bell, Woods and Groat.

Hope we have some money left to spend.

I have followed Grant for a while as I am also a massive rugby fan - I was excited when he made the sevens squads and NSW training squad.
He is big, fast and powerful also has good hands. The only issue would be his defence but that something that doesnt get tested as much in rugby out wide. But as a winger I think he will be fine. He may also be a gun defender who knows.
Man we going to have a great backline if all players are fit (Lawrence, Ashyford, Lote, Benji, Grant, Reddy)

i'd like Shackleton.In regards to them having money left i don't think thats the issue.The issue is more to do with what they can afford to fit under the cap
