Across 35 matches, Newell has built a reputation as one of the more industrious props in his pool, averaging over six tackles per game and amassing more than 220 in total — figures that point to a player relied upon heavily in defence. His carrying numbers are modest by volume but purposeful, with single-game peaks of 10 carries and 34 metres suggesting he can shift gears when the situation demands. Three tries across the dataset add a further dimension to a forward who clearly contributes beyond the set-piece.
