Cripps was better in 2024, Bont amongst others were better in 2023.You desperately want to believe that, but that doesn't make it true.
IF Bont was marginally ahead of Daicos in Home and Away (and that in itself is debatable), Daicos overtook him in finals.
In the same way Neale overtook Cripps and Daicos in the 2024 finals series, as a better player across the full season (but was behind Heeney).
Nicky was playing as a loose half back flanker for half the games in 2023, avoiding contact and running frightened from taggers like against the Hawks.
Gonna be a hard sell for you to convince anyone he's the best there is when he's terrified of physical contact.
