Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless defensive anchor in the tight

Across 20 appearances, Dun's tackle numbers stand out as his defining contribution — averaging close to eight per match and peaking at 21 in a single game, which points to a lock who consistently puts his body on the line in defence. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, used to retain possession and keep the forwards moving rather than to break the gainline, with his metres-per-carry figures reflecting a workhorse role close to the ruck. The volume of minutes he has logged across three competitions underlines how regularly he features when fit.
