Yet again, Harry Grant has been an important and reliable member of the Melbourne Storm squad this season.

He found himself in trouble last week though, controversially sin-binned after making contact with Sharks halfback Nathaniel Atkinson.

The Sporting News takes a look at the dummy-half’s status for Magic Round.

Will Harry Grant play against the Eels?

Yes, Grant will be in action for Melbourne despite his Round 10 sin bin.

The Queensland hooker was fined – not suspended – by the NRL Judiciary, but still opted to challenge the charge.

He was ultimately successful, with the panel coming to a unanimous not-guilty verdict on Tuesday. 

This saw the charge erased from his record and meant he wouldn’t have to pay a fine.
