Storm hooker Harry Grant set to evolve his game

Melbourne hooker Harry Grant provided a lethal one-two punch with fellow rake Brandon Smith last year, but it is how he evolves his game this season after Smith's exit that has the Storm excited. Three years ago the club had one of the game's greatest ever players in skipper Cameron Smith, New Zealand hooker Brandon Smith and a young Grant on the books. "The last two years we were blessed to have two of the best number nines in the game in the same team ... and when they were both on the field they were a terrific duo that worked so well together," Storm general manager of football Frank Ponissi. "We were fortunate that Brandon could play in the middle. "No doubt we will miss that combination of Harry and Brandon together but we are excited to see what else Harry can do without Brandon. "Harry, like everyone else, will evolve his game this year ... I am sure he will add an extra string to his bow."
