Across 57 matches, Cros's tackle numbers stand out as his defining trait, averaging nearly seven per game with a single-match peak of 18, marking him as a high-volume, reliable defender at the breakdown. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, contributing consistently without overreaching his role, while his rare peak of 11 carries and 37 metres in a single outing shows he can step up when the game demands more from him. Over 2,600 minutes of action, his workload reflects a player who endures through matches rather than flickering in and out of contests.
