Doesn't paint Cripps in a great light, mind you limited ruck talent doesn't help either re feeding your mids.

Those figures are somewhat skewed because he was running at about 50% for the start of the year.
A few points worth noting...
1. Meters gained for Cripps will always be done compared to most because he has a high handball to kick ratio.
2. His turnovers will be lower because he has a high handball to kick ratio. We don't want him being more adventurous, we want him to handball to a teammate....not kick.
3. His clearances will be 'on par' with most because he was injured early and because he is being tagged....sometimes by more than 1 player. Some of the other players with higher clearance rates have Elite rucks like Gawn giving them first use. Its not simply about Cripps, but those around him that can affect his numbers.
