Biography
Veteran Newcastle prop, a valuable impact player from the interchange bench, overcame a series of injuries that saw him miss the Knights’ 1997 premiership win to play his part in the club’s 30-24 grand final win against P’matta in 2001. Grief was one of Souths’ important signings for the 2002 season but played only one match before retiring.

Your Say
28/11/2011
Played his best football at the magpies.
15/03/2016
Retired at 28yo due to chronic back injury.
11/04/2020
Very underrated player, gritty, gutsy prop forward who played well above his weight. Retired prematurely due to injury, would have definitely gone on to play representative football.
