Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Workhorse lock, relentless at the gainline

Across 34 matches, Ribbans has built a reputation as a high-volume contributor in the tight phases, averaging over six carries and more than seven tackles per game. His carry numbers suggest a player consistently used to punch forward rather than exploit space, while his tackle output points to a genuine defensive anchor in the engine room. A peak of 16 carries and 16 tackles in a single match underlines his capacity to dominate when called upon.
