The former Bridgend flier has been a regular contender near the top of the charts in recent years. It’s true, it has taken him longer to reach the pinnacle in this campaign, but after 10 rounds of action he has finally surpassed Carmarthen Quins hooker Lewis Morgan to hit the front of the queue with nine tries. Morgan is hot on his heals and will be hoping to add to his impressive haul when Quins host Aberavon tomorrow night at the Park.
With a nose for the try-line, Cross looks to be the one to beat, as his stunning strike-rate with the Blue & Blacks doesn’t look like hitting the buffers anytime soon, In 49 appearances he has racked up a staggering 51 tries.
RGC fly-half Billy McBryde looks odds on to become the first player to reach a century of points. He currently leads the way with 93 points, five points ahead of nearest challenger Evan Lloyd from Ebbw Vale with Pontypool’s Kieran Meek close behind on 82 points.
Bridgend’s Zach O’Driscoll has been making his presence felt too. Heis rapidly approaching a double century of involvements at ruck time. This section includes both attack and defence and could include anything from a latch, blocker, binding or a clear-out.
He has 198 involvements next to his name after 10 rounds to easily lead the section from second place Osian Davies who has racked up 171 and there is clear daylight to third placed Josh Helps (Carmarthen Quins) who has been involved in 138 rucks.
