O'Leary holds a consistent workload across all four matches, averaging double-digit carries and over 40 metres per game, which speaks to a centre who is regularly trusted to move the ball through contact. His tackle count is equally steady, with a peak of 11 in a single match underlining his commitment in defence. The balance between his carrying and tackling output suggests a player who contributes meaningfully on both sides of the ball throughout a full tournament.
