Across more than 50 matches, Earl consistently contributes both with and without the ball, averaging nearly nine carries and over seven tackles per game — figures that point to an all-action number eight who rarely leaves the field having not influenced proceedings in both phases. His 13 tries from that volume of carrying reflect a player who reaches the gainline with purpose, while single-game peaks of 22 carries and 18 tackles suggest he can step up his output significantly in high-demand fixtures.
