Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless carrying hooker with defensive edge

Across 76 matches Dweba shows up as a consistent defensive presence, averaging close to six tackles per game with single-game peaks of 16 that point to an ability to carry a significant share of the workload when required. His 14 tries from the forward pack underline a genuine threat around the fringes, while his carrying numbers reflect the steady, abrasive contributions expected of a modern hooker rather than a boom-or-bust profile. The accumulated volume across over 3 400 minutes speaks to durability and consistent selection across multiple competitions.
