Do we have any info regarding his preseason/ completely over injury issues that have plagued him the last few years?
I just recall watching him last year looking like a beaten up player struggling to cover the ground hence my concerns …
I am intrigued though, will watch the game properly over the weekend to get a better read on him.
@Shannon, could you please let me know if Cripps used his body as a 'Battering Ram' in that game?

In 2020, Cripps had shoulder issues 4 times through the year and then had shoulder reconstruction surgery.
2021, Cripps was playing with a fractured spine.
2022 Cripps said, “I’m going to get back to being big in the contest and being aggressive...........).

Watched early this am

He was still beastly in the contests but the big thing was his spread from the contest, he was covering the ground far better than in recent years. Said in post match interview that he had a great preseason/ body is feeling really good.
