They are two of Queensland's most crucial players, and Ben Hunt and Harry Grant share a special bond forged via taking the same path to the big time.
abc.net.au/news/state-of-origin-game-two-what-time-does-it-start-how-to-watch/102504898When Ben Hunt talks about the special bond he shares with fellow Queensland hooker Harry Grant you have to consider the remarkable synergies in their careers.
The duo played juniors for Yeppoon Seagulls. Their parents — Geoff and De-Ann Hunt and Paul and Margie Grant — are friends and went to last year's World Cup final together to watch their sons. And that is just the half of it. "It is special for Yeppoon for Harry and Ben to be now playing rep footy together … and then you've got Munny Munster from just up the road at Rockhampton down there with the Maroons too. It is pretty good effort to have all of them from the same area."
