Across 31 matches Tarrit has built a reputation as a high-volume tackler, averaging nearly eight tackles per game and peaking at 17 in a single outing — figures that point to a hooker who shoulders genuine defensive responsibility rather than sheltering in set-piece duties. His carrying numbers are modest but consistent, suggesting he is used as a reliable short-range option rather than a primary ball-carrier. The combination of four tries and sustained minutes across three competitions indicates a player who contributes quietly across the full breadth of a match.
