Harry Grant suggests shorter NRL season to ease contract chaos

Harry Grant of the Melbourne Storm proposes a reduced NRL season to address the ongoing contract confusion linked to November 1 negotiations. With many players unsigned for 2028, the chaos has overshadowed the current World Cup semi-finals. Grant advocates for more time between the international window and contract talks, suggesting the change could also open up windows for representative matches. He emphasizes the need for collaborative discussions to improve the league's structure. Grant is set to play for Australia in a knockout match against Samoa on Sunday.
