2020 NRL Throwback: Round 7

“On-loan hooker Harry Grant has received plenty of praise so far this season, and rightly so.

Grant’s fingerprints are all over this set leading up to Tommy Talau’s spectacular 42nd-minute try.”

Off a penalty, the Tigers shift two passes wide to Grant who digs deep into the line to engage Dean Britt and Jack Cogger, before releasing Luke Brooks who takes the extra meters on offer:

A crisp face ball then gets Matt Eisenhuth one-on-one with Adam Elliott, and the big lock forward finds his front and earns a quick play the ball:

With Raymond Faitala-Mariner not square and Dean Britt still retreating, Grant takes off and gets the Tigers into attacking field position:

He then fires a peach of a pass – across three Bulldogs defenders – to the chest of Brooks, who gets outside Cogger’s shoulder to drop Sam McIntyre into a hole, dragging the ‘Dogs defence in field:

Knowing they have the numbers left, Grant finds Brooks with another good pass, and young Talau does the rest.

Goody footy.
