Yeah mate I am still gonna start with him. The best thing about it is that they are both cheap as chips so it's not really an issue. I'd be more than happy to start with Walters on my bench if starting 9 then trade him out to grant when he hopefully gets the green light

Melbourne could however push to remove the C.SMITH get out clause when the contracts are cancelled and restructured and hence this has the potential to result in Grant playing 2020 with Tigers but being back at 2nd or 3rd fiddle in 2021 at Melbourne should Smith play on.

Grant is 22 years old and won't wait around forever for Smith to retire. Pretty sure there was an article a week or so back saying Smith was keen to keep same output as previous years meaning best case scenario for Grant is he gets 15 minutes off the bench, with the assumption B.Smith plays exclusively in the pack, as I doubt a team like Melbourne are stupid enough to carry 2 bench hookers...

Putting it in perspective; Xerri and D.Brown are 19 with breakout seasons under their belt already, Haas and D.Fifita are 20, Ponga is 21 and Cleary and Murray are 22.

Not saying he is the same calibre as these players, but they have had chances to establish themselves and have become young stars at the same or younger age then Grant currently is. Surely he will push the exit hard. If Smith doesn't retire for another 2 years, Grant's 24 years old and may still lose the spot to The Cheese (B.smith), who lets face it is probably also getting sick of playing out of his preferred position...

I think the whole thing wreaks of corruption. Let’s face the facts, you essentially have a contracted enemy playing for another team. Ironically, one of the teams involved players that are willing to bet against their own team for a dollar. What’s to stop people missing a tackle when they play the team they’re actually contracted to? What ever happened to just being responsible for your own decisions? Grant wanted to work under the best to raise his own game, there’s a price to pay for that. Melbourne lost two centres and invested everywhere else, there’s a price to pay for that. Tigers are terrible at recruiting decent people, there’s a price to pay for that too. Milch made the point also, when (not if) the roosters do this will people be as supportive? It’s asking to be rorted.

Also, players need to start taking responsibility for the contracts they sign. If I sign contract to work for a particular company for a certain $ remuneration package, and I'm happy to do so, I can't just take my bat and ball to go work for their competition because I want extra opportunities to 'play in the big league'.

well, you can. the point of the contract is both sides agree to the terms of the release.

The Bludger wrote:

Then the Tigers and Storm should just release their respective players and be done with it.
The point is they are trying to have their cake and eat it too.
(Dumb example I know)

That's exactly what they're trying to do?

I agree with the NRL for blocking it for minor cap reasons.

Just need 25 - 35 off the bench, some kind of job security and cash making potential for a Rd. 12 upgrade.
