Across 27 matches Wegner has been a consistent presence in the tight exchanges, averaging over six tackles per game and racking up 172 in total — figures that point to a lock who commits heavily to defensive duties. His carrying is measured rather than explosive, but peaks of 12 carries and 15 tackles in a single match show he can lift his output significantly when the occasion demands. He is the kind of forward who accumulates impact quietly across a full campaign rather than through individual moments.
Carl stands 201cm (6′7″) tall and weighs 117kg.
