First ever NRL player loan deal completed

Melbourne Storm and Wests Tigers have officially finalised a player swap deal which will see their young and coming hooker Harry Grant head to the Sydney club, and outside back Paul Momirovski heading the other way for the rest of the 2020 season. Grant hasn't make his NRL debut yet however has high hopes on him after impressing in the lower grades, while Momirovski has suffered for consistent game time under Michael Maguire and heads to the Storm to add some depth to the back line. Both players will head back to their parent clubs at the end of the season, under the current arrangement. Speaking to NRL.com, Storm coach Craig Bellamy said: “Both clubs wanted it to happen, the two kids both wanted it to happen so I think perhaps we could have made it a little bit easier. “Those two boys are happy, they are down there having a beer together at the moment. Harry is staying up so he will join the Tigers on Monday and Paul will start his year with us. “Hopefully it will be a good thing for the clubs and hopefully it will be a good thing for the two individuals too.” Source- RL News
