The Melbourne Storm have initiated contract negotiations with their captain, Harry Grant, as he prepares for the Origin Decider on Wednesday.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, Grant has been pivotal to the team's success as their captain for the second consecutive season, showcasing strong partnership in the spine alongside Ryan Papenhuyzen, Cameron Munster, and Jahrome Hughes.
Debuting with the Storm in 2018, Grant played a key role in leading the team to last year's NRL Grand Final, where they were narrowly defeated by the Penrith Panthers.
With hopes of achieving greater success this season, there's speculation about his potential future.
While the Storm is actively seeking to retain Grant, he will be free to negotiate with rival teams starting November 1, which is likely to generate considerable interest due to his stature in the league.
The club's approach involves discussions over a multi-million-dollar extension intended to secure Grant's place in Victoria for the foreseeable future, as reported by The Courier-Mail.
