Across 20 matches, Newsome averages just under seven carries per game and consistently clears the gain line, accumulating over 600 metres in total — numbers that point to a full back used as an active ball-runner rather than a last line of safety. His seven tries across the dataset reinforce that he is a genuine attacking outlet. The ceiling shown in his best outings — 15 carries, 86 metres, and nine tackles in a single match — suggests he can lift significantly above his baseline when given the platform.
