Across 60 matches Roots has built a profile defined by volume and consistency — close to nine tackles and six and a half carries per game paint the picture of a flanker who does the hard work every single week. His ability to peak at 20 tackles and 17 carries in a single outing shows the ceiling is there when the match demands it. Over 3 400 minutes of action, that combination of defensive reliability and consistent ball-carrying makes him one of the more durable workhorses in his position.
