Across 48 appearances, Nankivell is a consistent workhorse in midfield — his near-10 carries per game and close to 30 metres gained reflect a player who takes the ball to contact regularly and keeps the gainline honest. His tackle numbers tell an equally complete story, averaging over six per match with a single-game peak of 15, suggesting he is as committed in defence as he is with ball in hand. The volume of minutes he has accumulated across three competitions underlines just how central he is to his side's forward-thinking game plan.
