I really want to hear other people's opinions on him and his place within the team. I have had him as MOTM many times and I think he is in the upper -class of Hookers in the NRL. However Brandon Smith is having a brilliant season scoring 10 tries in 20 appearances. They are both great players with both being strong, smart and great ball handlers. I want to hear other peoples opinions on these two, both want to be the starting hooker. Im not saying one is better than the other or anything I just want to hear opinions.

Hardest question to answer. I don't think we've ever had a selection connundrum like it.

With Finucane gone next season, just have the two of them alternate between the #9 and #13 jersey each week... simples. :-D

Bandon starts at hooker and Grant comes on after 20 when the pace is out of the game. it has worked well.

Against the Titans, Grant played the full 80? If not then very close. I think he was a lot more selective of his involvement tonight probably knowing in advance he needed to go the full journey.

Grant 9 and Brandon 13 for 2022

Both deserve to be in the team.

Grant has the guile, Brandon brings the energy. Both are powerful pocket dynamos.

I love when we get that quick play the ball and then back to back dummy half runs from Grant and Smith, just looks scary to defend.
