Across 29 matches, Roux has built a profile defined above all by his defensive output, averaging close to seven tackles per game and accumulating nearly 200 in total — figures that point to a lock heavily involved in the hard work at the gain line. His carrying numbers are modest in volume but consistent, suggesting a role built around set-piece solidity and defensive reliability rather than ball-in-hand threat. Single-game peaks of 16 tackles and 37 metres carrying indicate he can step up his impact when called upon.
