Cannon's numbers across nine appearances reveal a player who consistently contributes on both sides of the ball, averaging over six tackles per match alongside steady carries that eat up hard-earned metres. His defensive output stands out most — 55 tackles in total points to a player who stays involved and holds his line whether carrying or defending. His best single-game showings, including 16 carries and 12 tackles, suggest he can step up his workload significantly when called upon.
