Across 23 matches Ribbans consistently operates as a high-volume forward, averaging nearly seven carries and close to ten tackles per game — figures that point to a lock who is heavily involved on both sides of the ball. His peak outputs of 16 carries and 15 tackles in a single match show he can elevate beyond his already solid averages when the occasion demands. A single Player of the Match award across those appearances underlines that his contribution, while steady and reliable, runs deeper than individual moments of brilliance.
