An occasional spell as a forward keeps the opposition on their toes and often leads to a bonus goal or two. That should be the extent of Crippa’s multi-tasking.
But if fairness to Cripps, back in Kouta's time a tug on a jumper was a free kick, he could barge in and pick up the pill one handed at full flight largely untouched excluding riding bumps. The way the game is currently umpired Cripps is being dry humped before he even starts to move and nothing happens about it!
You wouldn't want to live on the difference between these two, it would be a knife edge.
How lucky are we, we've had two like that, most club's have never even had one!
