Across 47 matches Doris combines high-volume ball-carrying with exceptional defensive output, averaging over eight tackles per game alongside nearly seven carries — a workload that marks him as a central figure in both phases. His single-game peaks of 21 carries and 22 tackles indicate he can absorb the heaviest demands when matches require it. With over a thousand metres carried across the dataset, his consistency with ball in hand makes him a reliable source of go-forward at number eight.
