Across 19 appearances, McNabney functions as a consistent engine in both phases — averaging over ten carries and ten tackles per match points to a player who shoulders significant work in both directions throughout the contest. His peak outputs of 23 carries and 21 tackles in a single game indicate he can sustain that intensity well above his already demanding average. The volume of minutes accumulated alongside those numbers reflects a flanker trusted to operate across extended periods rather than in short bursts.
