I think that Walsh has been our first choice for tagging this season. Cripps gets some attention around stoppages but it's young Sam who gets the full treatment. However, I reckon he'll miss Crippa's big body in there giving him some protection and feeding him the ball.
It will be a big test for Sam, and the team as a whole.
Barker was on SEN yesterday and they asked him if he was surprised Cripps would miss, he said he is the definition of a battering ram. He has always played that way and always will.
I think Crippa thrives on physical contact, it's like he dares the oppo to keep coming at him and see if they can out last him in a game.
