It's a mugs game, Cripps like Judd before him wants the opponents to come to him, opposition have the maximum effectiveness against Cripps when they run off him not when they try to tackle him! They hurt us more than he hurts them by ignoring him, they know he won't run and spread, and he rarely pushes forward. If he starts pushing forward more they have to look at him in far more detail, he even stated that is his goal for 2018, and it's sound thinking!
Cripps is a bit unit and a great player, hard to stop, but I'd still tag him ..Jacobs from Nth beat him, Buckley use Pendlebury in an effective manner on him IMO, even a 25% reduction in Cripps capacity is worth it IMO.
To leave Mitchell on his own was inexcusable as Roos suggested....
