Cribb's match data paints a clear picture of a lock who earns his place through defensive output, averaging six tackles per game across his four Super Rugby appearances. His carrying numbers are modest — rarely more than a handful of involvements with the ball and minimal metres gained — suggesting his primary function is to man the defensive line rather than generate momentum with ball in hand. His best individual games show he can push toward nine tackles in a single outing, reinforcing that his value to the pack is measured in stops rather than carries.
