Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Consistent carrier, dependable defensive presence

Across 20 appearances, O'Connor functions as an active ball-carrier whose per-game averages reflect a full back who regularly enters the line and pushes metres after contact. His tackle numbers are modest but steady, and ceiling performances of 17 carries, 101 metres and 8 tackles in a single outing show he can absorb a significantly heavier workload when required. Five tries across the dataset further underline his threat when given space to finish.
