Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Physical carrier, reliable defensive presence

Carson's figures across 23 appearances point to a centre who carries with genuine consistency, averaging nearly seven carries per match and converting that workload into meaningful metres gained. His tackle numbers are steady rather than spectacular on a per-game basis, yet his single-match peak of 13 tackles signals he can shoulder a heavy defensive shift when required. Five tries over this sample add an attacking dimension that complements his primary role as a hard-running ball-carrier.
