4. Harry Grant
Full disclosure, my initial draft had Grant at number two, but the hyperbole of his first, albeit incredible, season at the NRL level should be pushed back slightly for now.
Grant was a revelation for the Tigers, forcing his loan club to try literally everything to keep their 2020 prized asset long-term. The Storm, who sat back and watched him develop whilst watching the best of all time ply his trade, will be happy with their historic decision.
Grant averaged over 80 running metres a game, scored three tries, had five try assists, six line break assists, two forced drop outs and 11 offloads. His efforts in Origin III were special. This kid is going to be number one sooner rather than later.
Hey Dan…
Korisau. Did you mean speedy number 9, not number 7? Also Rarified company , not Verified?
Cam McInnes makes the NSW side as reserve to Cook and kept Reece Robson in reserve grade and he misses the top 10? Your eyes mustn’t work!
Yeah theres no way in the world you can pick Reece Robson on suspicion. Sorry thats ridiculous. McInnes is very good. Robson is not even in his orbit right now.
