Across 18 matches Roche demonstrates a consistent work rate on both sides of the ball, combining steady ball-carrying with a tackle count that stands as one of his most defining contributions. His best outings show he can push well beyond his averages, reaching double figures in both carries and tackles in a single game, suggesting he steps up in higher-demand situations. That volume of defensive output across nearly 1 000 minutes points to a centre who is trusted to do considerable physical work within the system.
