Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive enforcer

Across 28 matches, Maximin averages nearly seven tackles per game, with a single-match peak of 23, marking him as a lock who consistently shoulders a heavy defensive workload. His carrying numbers tell a similar story of reliability rather than explosiveness, contributing steadily at the gain-line across all three competitions. Six tries from this platform underline that he finds his way over when it counts.
