Next Captain

[LP]

If Cripps stars nailing set shots he will be close to the most damaging mid in the business.  Bugger chasing if he can add a direct offensive component to his game.  Chasing should be left to racehorses, his job is inside.

I agree.

He has to get that part of his game sorted though, once he does( I expect him to do so ) he won't have to chase because they'll be crap scared to leave him unattended!

I think the bigger worry is the apparent lack of willingness from some of our forwards to try and pick up the slack! Cripps jogging behind the opposition I can totally accept, FFS his team-mates should chair him to the next stoppage, but four or five of the others doing that I cannot!

I was hoping the inclusion of Pickett might mask some of this, given he has speed to burn, it didn't eventuate so lets hope the result is an aberration!
