In further news that will horrify Storm fans, Grant intends to exercise that clause and join the likes of Sam Walker, Latrell Mitchell and potentially Nathan Cleary on the open market. While Melbourne believe they’ll be able to sign their skipper to an extension and keep him at the club long-term, there will be plenty of cashed up clubs who will prepare a pitch for Grant.
CODE have revealed that Grant have ruled out Perth as a potential destination in order to let good friend and former teammate Tyran Wishart thrive. Wishart has joined the Bears on a multi-year deal and is expected to be the club’s No. 9 to begin next season.
