Across 39 matches McKenzie averages close to five carries per game, consistently eating up ground with a per-carry return that points to an elusive, forward-moving style rather than a static distributor. His 12 tries across the dataset confirm he is regularly involved at the sharp end of attacking moves, while peaks of 15 carries and 114 metres in a single game show he can take over when the situation demands. His tackle numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value is found with ball in hand rather than in defensive heavy-lifting.
