Compare to Gibbs' kicks from stoppages - awesome kicks over 5m to 25m around corners, onto the chest of the opposition...
It's about playing the percentages.... ::
Who would have thought? Not you, clearly.....
Why is it when someone says the word 'average' people lose their shit.
The simple definition of the word means that on any given list, half of the blokes are below average in terms of kicking ability.
Yes, GIbbs kicking from stoppages was pretty bad....as is most people. Gibbs kicking around the ground is elite.
So by extension, If Gibbs is an elite kick, but struggles around stoppages, what do you think an average kick like Cripps would be like from stoppages?
There is a reason he doesn't kick much, especially from stoppages....he's playing the %'s.
If you've got some time, compare the kick to handball ratio of the 2 players and see why one prefers to kick and the other prefers to handball.
