Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Relentless tackler, consistent ball-carrier

Across 49 matches, Macleod averages over 12 tackles per game — a figure that points to a player consistently at the heart of defensive efforts at the breakdown and in open play. He contributes reliably with ball in hand, and his 12 tries across the dataset show he has the awareness to finish when opportunities arise. His peak outputs — 27 tackles and 11 carries in a single match — suggest he can step up his workload significantly in high-intensity fixtures.
