More from Grimesy about Rance:Dylan Grimes says returning backman Alex Rance is the one leading the team’s barrelling sleigh into 2020.
Rance, who missed the entire 2019 season – including the team’s premiership glory – after a knee reconstruction, appears in better condition than he was before the devastating injury, Grimes said, and has the entire club in tow behind him.
“He’s such a great leader for us and has been such a good player for such a long time,” Grimes said.
“He was really unlucky not to play in the later stages of this year. He’s been building now for 12 months for the season to start, so I think he’s going to be in terrific condition.
“Seeing him move around the track, he’s honestly moving better than he was before the knee, it looks like. So I think the whole club is really behind him at the moment.
“Riding that emotional wave of seeing a player work so hard to get back on track and to get those rewards, hopefully, on field next year would be absolutely terrific.”
