Senior 9. Patrick Cripps

Not elite. Absolute A grader. I love watching him play, both on and off the ball.

But elite? Elite players win games. They drag themselves and their teams to 4 points and beyond, particularly in September.

I, for one, look forwards to watching Cripps go from A grader to elite.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Depends how you define elite. I'd say elite is the top 10 players in the comp.

 

[T2B_]

Well, this is true, the word elite and superstar etc are thrown around a little too easily.

I do think he has elite attributes to work with though. His vision and hands being the obvious.

 

[HBF]

I've heard Cripps was in a freak accident as a kid. Resulted in the loss of his eyesight but his other senses overdeveloped to compensate, giving him superhuman awareness. True story.

Have you ever seen him handball where he's looking?

Sounds legit.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I think he'll get there but he's not elite yet.

 

[HBF]

I think he'll get there but he's not elite yet.

Yeah I agree, but he's pretty close.
Needs to hit the scoreboard more and improve his DE%.

Geez, Cripper sits at 11th best in the game so MEB says he's shit.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Still dead to me

I mentioned on the filth board that Cripps stepped into the elite category the moment Pendlebury was shifted onto him to limit his influence
