Across 54 matches, Marchand contributes steadily on both sides of the ball, averaging close to four carries and nearly four tackles per game — numbers that speak to a hooker deeply embedded in the forward contest rather than operating on the fringes. His 12 tries from 217 carries reflect a consistent threat around the ruck, while peak outings of 16 carries and 16 tackles in a single match indicate he can shoulder a markedly heavier load when the game demands it.
