Across 10 matches Riley maintains a consistent workload, averaging just over five carries and nearly five tackles per game, pointing to a centre who contributes steadily on both sides of the ball rather than dominating in short bursts. His carrying numbers translate into meaningful metres gained, and his best individual performances — reaching eight carries, 80 metres, and eight tackles in a single match — show he can step up his output when required. The consistency across international and World Cup rugby suggests a dependable, all-round midfield presence.
