Across 69 matches O'Brien averages over nine carries and 53 metres per game, a workload that points to a full back used as a primary ball-runner rather than a last line of defence. His 18 tries from that volume of possession underline genuine finishing ability, while peaks of 22 carries and 183 metres in a single match show he can take over a game entirely. His tackle numbers are modest by comparison, confirming that his value sits firmly in attack.
