Across five URC appearances, Hurley's output is defined almost entirely by his work without the ball — his tackle numbers are the clear standout, with a best single-game return of eight and a consistent average close to three per match. His carrying role is minimal, reflecting a lock used primarily to shore up defensive structure rather than carry gainline threat. The data points to a specialist who earns his minutes through reliability in the contact channel rather than with ball in hand.
