Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Tireless defender who finishes chances

Across 43 appearances, Cretin's tackle numbers stand out as the defining feature of his game — averaging 5.7 per match with a single-game peak of 19, he carries a heavy defensive workload at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying is efficient rather than dominant, consistently converting contact into forward metres, while nine tries across the dataset show he has the instinct to arrive at the right moment when opportunities arise.
