Kruger's output across five matches is defined by his defensive workload, averaging seven tackles per game at prop — a volume that points to consistent involvement across multiple phases rather than a purely set-piece role. His carrying numbers are modest but steady, suggesting he is used selectively in contact rather than as a primary ball-carrier. A peak of twelve tackles and five carries in a single match indicates he can step up his all-round contribution when required.
