What is the latest news on Harry Grant’s contract and player option?
Just a bloke in a bar. What is up, ladies and gentlemen? Welcome to another episode of Back in My Day. The boys, how we going? How we feelin'?
Feeling grateful. Bright lights, another another weekend of football.
Okay, there's an off air joke there that you guys are. I'm not gonna ever hear it. Because we'd all we'd all well, you two will get cancelled, not me.
You two will get cancelled.
I didn't say it. Yeah, you're right. Uh well I condemn it, all right. I'm already condemning what you said off air, you fucking dogs. Just live
a little, Kempy. Just live a
little. Uh boys. Alrighty. Speaking of live a little, uh Harry Grant's looking to live a little on November one. Uh this is brought to you by Lickaland. Um It's uh, I guess the Lickerland legendary moment of the week. NRL.com states Harry Grant is locked in until twenty-eight, so there's been no talk of him going anywhere. However, Brent Reid revealed on NL three sixty that it's a player option. Because actually, I think the NRL that the NRL or RLPA stopped the NRL from having player options available to the public. So that's how that could have happened, if it did happen. Storm are desperate to keep him, but they only have five weeks to. Lock him down. What could Harry Grant earn at other clubs? Serve up the ultimate at home occasion with a side of legendary drinks from Lickerland, whether you're stocking up for the weekend ahead or cooking for a full house.
Lickern has the perfect drinks to match. Uh, whatever the reason, whatever the occasion, Lickorland will bring the drinks. Choose to drink wise. Boys, Harry Grant. I think um we spoke about this a few weeks ago. I think this actually has a lot to do with the Munster situation. Like I've I feel like Storm when remember when it came out that Monster was offered seven hundred grand? I think the storm are basically I feel like that was just a kind of respect offer. Like we offered him something, knowing he wouldn't take that. Because I think they're trying to free up cap space because it reportedly Harry Grant is only on like, and I say only because it's all relatively speaking, I think eight, fifty, nine hundred a year.
And so, as you know, you'd probably know better than me, Dor, like usually what the storm tried to do is is like you kind of earn the right to be the highest paid player. And, you know, when Harry Grant signed that last contract, you could say Munster was still, you know, the the h most capped and all that kind of stuff. Now Harry Grant is the main man there. So that's what I I'm assuming happening. Thoughts do you think it has more to do with the fact that there's a new club in town? I th I I personally think a lot of clubs are trying to sign players under the guise of the old cap. And I think a lot of managers are saying, no, no, no, no. We're signing under the idea that there's 25% more in the cap.
You know what I mean? Yeah. Um and so that's where I think the friction is coming between these superstars in our game and clubs where. Where clubs are going, let's get in here quickly and like for example, maybe they're saying to Harry Grant, oh, here's a $1.1 million offer. And Harry Grant says, well, that's really good for a cap right now. But if the cap goes up 25%, I'm probably worth $1.4, $1.5 million. So I reckon that's why you're seeing a bit of friction between, if this is all legit. And when I say friction, I just more mean player managers doing their job, right? Which is maximizing the earning capacity. Yeah. Of a player throughout his career. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why I think you might see a few stars go to the open market.
And I know I the cynical part would be because PG and Perth are here. I actually think it has more to do with the new cap rather than the clubs. Yeah, I agree. Clubs. Thoughts.
Yeah, I agree. And I think as you said, managers have to be maximizing the opportunity as much as possible. When I read between the lines here, there's no definitive statements or uh any news that would suggest anything other than perhaps uh it is a good news story that he has the player option, but I don't know that Harry's really doing too much or pushing the envelope with the Melbourne Storm.
