Not sure that's the best example. I might be wrong, but to my knowledge, he has only invited Casey and they live together, are pretty close and Casey doesn't really have any family over here.
Not trying to knock Cripps or the gesture, but inviting your housemate, who is about 17,000kms away from his family, back to the farm over a family holiday period, is a bit different to inviting multiple teammates on a bonding excursion.
True but then add the extra training he himself undertook and I understand (but not totally sure of) that that did influence a couple of others (???) to do extra over the break.
as mentioned b4 I would vote for Doc so I m not trying to sell Cripps at all just showing that he would also be a good captain.
Which means that our club is going to benefit if either are selected.
