Eriksen with some nice words on Skipp:
All of the young players have really shown great character," he said. "They come in and want to play. They're very confident coming into the tour, all of them.
"A lot of them have trained with us a few times, like Luke Amos and Anthony Georgiou. But I think the guy who's the youngest is probably Skippy, who's really taken the game in his hands and is trying to do his thing. He's been very good.
"[I've been impressed] first of all with his courage. He's not scared to get the ball, he's not scared to go forward and he's not scared to tackle. He's an all-round midfielder and I think with a lot of training, as he gets older, he will be there."
