Across 30 matches Furbank averages close to seven carries and over 40 metres per game, numbers that point to a full back who consistently joins the line and makes ground rather than sitting deep. His try return — 10 in the sample — underlines a genuine threat when he touches the ball, while a single-game peak of 17 carries and 139 metres shows he can take on a central attacking role when the game demands it. His tackle contribution is modest by position, which reflects how often he is used as an offensive rather than defensive resource.
