The Seven Network show host shared the playing paddock at the University of New England (UNE) sporting grounds with the backdrop of a Paramatta Eels training session.
The Sydney players have been in the district all week for a pre-season training camp.
Grant completed six live weather crosses in which he interviewed UNE vice-chancellor Jim Barber and Eels prop Fuifui Moimoi – and even got some footy gear on for a tackling exercise.
SportUNE operations manager Kath Hunt said there was a great turnout despite how early it started.
“He stuck around for a little while and had a chance to talk and cackle with all the people between crosses,” she said.
