The speculation around Harry Grant<\/a>'s fitness has taken another twist with league icon Phil Gould<\/a> predicting he won't play in the Origin decider.<\/p>\n

Unconfirmed reports suggest Grant has been battling a sternum injury, with Melbourne putting his absence last week against the Tigers<\/a> down to "bumps and bruises". \ufeff<\/p>\n

Last week, Gould described it as a "risk" for Slater to pick Grant but the Maroons coach selected him on the bench with Reed Mahoney as back up in the reserves.<\/p>\n

"He\ufeff's missed the last two games for Melbourne so the last game he played was down at the MCG (for Origin II) so he's had plenty of time to recover," he said.<\/p>\n

"He came into camp today in pretty good health so there's no real concern there for us and we'll be going in as planned."\ufeff<\/p>\n
