200 or thereabouts.
That was just a shocking call on our part, like playing Warnock and Hampson ahead of Jacobs.
There's a bit of Grigg in Holman actually.

We wanted to sign Grigg. He wanted to leave.

Not our fault there.

He was playing mainly for the Northern Blues, not surprising he wanted to leave, likewise Jacobs.

Personally don't care what sort of career he's had - Grigg is an ordinary footballer whose presence would make no difference to our current predicament.

So by that logic, every club has 20-odd players that want to leave their club because they are playing 2's.

You can knuckle down and do what you need to do to earn a game in the 1's.
Or
You can piss off to another club.

He made his call, and i've got nothing against the club for how he was treated.

He'd walk into our current side, not only that but he'd be one of the group of experienced one club players who we are crying out for.
Ordinary footballers don't play 200 games, particularly at Premiership clubs.
It was a bad call by us, but I'll admit that at the time I didn't see it as any great loss so my judgement is no better than the management we had in place at the time.

Easy to say it was a bad call with hindsight but I question whether he'd get a game if we weren't so injury ridden....

That doesn't make a lot of sense.
In his last year at Carlton he played 8 or 10 senior games from memory, Richmond offered him something he was happy with and the rest is history, 200 games and a Premiership medal, with more to come maybe.
It's a stretch to argue that we didn't underestimate his ability but if that's where you want to go it's up to you.
