One more Q, 'newly qualified' translates to how many hours of flight experience (both, until passed practical exam and hours since)?
Training crosswind landings is one of the recurrent things to consider for the rest of your flying life.
For getting used to the techniques I would advice to jump in a 172 and do some additional training.
High wing because the margin of error is slightly better for training compared to the PA28.
Jump in the PA28 only later and learn smooth transitioning from crab to aligned - key is your mental, not physics.
Get a tough day and train at 90 degree x-wind with an experienced pilot, you will be amazed.
Outlook:
An old 172 with a skilled experienced pilot will land without squeak up to about 30-35 knots 90 cross, above you run out of rudder and skid at landings ...
Disclaimer, do not, never, try this in the beginning, learn listen train in steps and with cold faith in your heart.
