Across 41 matches, Cretin's tackle numbers stand out as his most defining trait — averaging 5.5 per game with a single-match peak of 19, he carries a significant defensive workload at the breakdown and in open play. His nine tries from limited carries per game suggest he times his runs efficiently rather than dominating ball-in-hand volume. When called upon to carry, he can produce impact moments, as his 42-metre best game illustrates.
