Across his three appearances as a replacement, Farrell consistently contributes both with and without the ball, averaging over seven tackles and more than six carries per match. His defensive work is particularly notable, with a standout performance of 15 tackles in a single game underlining his value as a physical presence late in matches. His carrying numbers, including a best of 55 metres from 10 carries, suggest he is capable of making meaningful ground when introduced from the bench.
