No pre season and after only 2 quarters in this series he comes out and touches it 19 times in a half and we are criticizing him??
Cripps is a star. We don't have many let's not bag him as well.
Liked Weiterings game.
He's an elite contested beast (great), who is very reluctant to kick (not so great). Watch any footage of him : extract the ball, then handball. I didn't really pay much attention until Rob Walls pointed it out :

In a game which has the word "football" in the title, in a game where precise kicking skills are worth more than hen's teeth, in a team which already has below par kicking skills - yes, I am serious, and yes I am a little worried.
Maybe the problem is that Cripps needs to be surrounded by players that can kick. Maybe it's not him. But its disturbs me that he seems so reluctant to use his feet.
