Cracknell's numbers paint a picture of a high-usage number 8 who does the heavy lifting on both sides of the ball, averaging nearly 10 carries and close to 8 tackles per match across 21 appearances. His carrying volume translates into consistent metres gained, and his peak outputs — 21 carries and 16 tackles in a single game — suggest he can absorb the lion's share of a team's physical workload when required. The combination of sustained tackle counts and ground-eating carries makes him a reliable engine in the tight exchanges.
