Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive workhorse

Across 38 matches, Southworth has built a profile defined by consistency in the tight phases — his tackle counts are notably high for a prop, with a per-game average pushing seven and a single-game peak of 20, suggesting he is heavily involved in defensive structures beyond the set piece. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but the fact that he has crossed for four tries indicates he remains a threat around the fringes when opportunities arise. The volume of minutes accumulated across three competitions points to a player who holds his workload well over a full campaign.
