Across 55 matches, Craig has established himself as a high-volume defensive operator, averaging nine tackles per game and topping out at 27 in a single outing — figures that point to a lock heavily involved in the contact battle week after week. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, contributing reliably at the gain line without dominating with the ball in hand. The combination of consistent tackling output and durable minutes across multiple competitions paints a picture of a forward built for sustained, physical team defence.
