Across 51 matches, Cros averages 6.5 tackles per game — a rate that, sustained over more than 2,200 minutes, marks him as a consistently high-volume defender at this level. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, typically contributing short, purposeful gains, though peaks of 11 carries and 37 metres in a single match show he can shoulder a greater offensive load when required. Three tries from 130 carries reflects a role built around workrate and defensive presence rather than attacking threat.
