Across more than 100 matches, Cannone's numbers tell the story of a lock who shows up every week to do the unglamorous work — consistent carrying and a tackle count that sits well above six per game. His peak outputs, touching 31 tackles and 19 carries in a single match, show he can shift into a higher gear when the occasion demands it. The sheer volume of minutes logged underlines a player his coaches rely on to absorb punishment and keep coming.
