Melbourne Storm captain Harry Grant has downplayed comparisons between rookie fullback Sua Fa’alogo and Brisbane Broncos star Reece Walsh ahead of their NRL grand final rematch. Grant emphasized that Fa’alogo is still developing and should not be measured against Walsh at this stage.
Fa’alogo scored a hat-trick in Melbourne’s recent win over St George Illawarra, helping the Storm maintain their unbeaten record this season. The performance sparked discussions about his potential, with some drawing parallels to Walsh’s dynamic style.
Grant, however, urged caution, noting that Fa’alogo has only played a handful of NRL games. He stressed the importance of allowing the young fullback to grow without the pressure of comparisons to established stars.
The Storm and Broncos are set to face off in a highly anticipated rematch of last year’s grand final. Grant’s comments aim to keep the focus on the team’s collective effort rather than individual matchups.
