Across 34 matches Oviedo consistently shoulders a heavy carrying load, averaging over eight carries and 31 metres per game to establish himself as a primary ball-carrier at number eight. His tackle numbers are equally telling — averaging more than seven per match across nearly 1600 minutes of action, with an 18-tackle single-game peak that underlines his defensive commitment. The combination of volume and consistency across multiple competitions points to a player built for sustained physical work rather than occasional impact.
