Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Reliable defender, consistent carrier

Across 23 matches Maraku has been a steady presence in the centres, averaging over six tackles per game and topping 14 in his standout defensive performance. His carrying is measured rather than explosive, but he consistently converts contact into metres, with his best individual game showing genuine ability to drive work through the channel. The combination of reliable defensive volume and dependable ball-in-hand contribution marks him as a consistent contributor at this level.
