For the record I'm not comparing them, I'm comparing the potential for like roles and using them the same ways. I'm not saying they are on par as players.
That makes some sense. Look at WCE last year to this year. They underperformed last year with the new gameplan and this year when it clicked fringe players looked like rolls royces. I think Bevo has many more strings to our gameplan and if there are along what Clarkson and Simpson are doing, then a player like Grant may just flourish. If Grant was hit every time he was open or free forward we'd be lauding him like Wood, Wally and Dicko for taking the next step.
But we're just going in circles again. He will get a contract or he won't.
