Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Consistent ball-carrier with defensive reliability

Across 20 matches Carson has built a steady rhythm as a carrying centre, averaging under seven carries per game but accumulating meaningful metres in a way that points to efficiency over volume. His tackle numbers are dependable rather than prolific in the averages, yet his single-game peak of 11 tackles shows he can shoulder a heavier defensive load when the contest demands it. Five tries across the dataset add an attacking dimension that rounds out his profile as a centre who contributes consistently across both phases.
