Across 33 URC appearances, Drago's output is defined above all by his defensive workload — averaging seven tackles per match and topping 21 in a single game, he functions as a primary stopper in midfield. His carrying numbers are modest but consistent, contributing around four runs and 13-14 metres per outing, with peaks of 11 carries and 43 metres showing he can take the ball up meaningfully when called upon. The picture is of a centre whose value is built on reliability and defensive structure rather than attacking impact.
