Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless workhorse in the tight

Across 45 matches McNally has been a consistent presence at the coalface, carrying and tackling at high volume in a role that demands physicality over flash. His tackle numbers stand out in particular — averaging nearly nine per game with a single-match peak of 23 — pointing to a lock who puts in a full shift on both sides of the ball. While his carrying game is steady rather than explosive, the sheer consistency of his workload across three competitions tells the story of a reliable engine-room operator.
