Across more than 50 appearances Earl carries the ball at a volume and consistency that marks him out as a primary ball-carrier in the pack, averaging over 30 metres per match and regularly pushing beyond a hundred in standout performances. His tackle count sits close to eight per game, reflecting a workload that spans both sides of the ball rather than a specialist attacking role. The 16 tries in that sample confirm he arrives at the breakdown and the gainline with enough intent to convert opportunity into points.
