Cracknell's numbers across 31 matches paint the picture of a Number 8 who shoulders a heavy workload on both sides of the ball, averaging double-digit carries and tackles per game. His defensive output is particularly striking, with a single-match peak of 27 tackles underlining his capacity to function as a primary defensive unit at the breakdown and in open play. While his try-scoring contribution is modest, the volume of metres he generates through carrying reflects consistent front-foot involvement rather than peripheral impact.
