He said that once we got ahead, they sent a tagger to Cripps, but as he said "it's not helping us, we better just hunt ourselves." Coaches are certainly reluctant to do it, some more than others.
Fagan is completely full of s#it.... in the extreme.
Cripps had the hardest of hard tags for the whole match. Mostly by Berry but they mixed it up. Especially at centre bounces he was being tackled while the rucks were contesting the hitout. He was just determination personified and wouldn't let the tag stop him. 10 blokes tagging him at once wouldn't have stopped him today.
That was one of the best individual matches in the history of football.
