I think Cripps is young enough to live through that and recover, his biggest problem is going to be the rule changes as I think his game style is almost the worst type for being negatively impacted by the recent rule changes as they were as as they will be!
Close followers of players like Cripps and Fyfe could be forgiven for thinking the recent rule revisions are designed to end their career!
Cripps has copped more injuries than Murph at the same age. He is bigger and more robust, which make actually work against him in the long term as carrying that weight around shortens your career. All the bloke who play 300-350-400+ are stick figures.
Cripps is 27 next month.
If we try and trade him at the end of the year, he will be 28 for his new team. Any older than that and you'll find most teams won't bother and/or won't give us an offer thats worth it.
We need to cash in before he gets 'too old'
