Across 28 matches Ross has built a profile defined overwhelmingly by defensive output, averaging over seven tackles per game and surpassing 20 in a single outing — exceptional volume for a front-rower. His carrying numbers are modest and consistent with a prop used primarily to hold structure rather than generate go-forward, though he has shown the capacity to contribute with ball in hand when called upon. The overall picture is of a highly dependable workhorse whose value is measured in minutes logged and defensive reliability rather than attacking statistics.
