Across 10 appearances, Dobela shows a fly half who is regularly involved in the contact areas, contributing steadily with the ball in hand and holding his own defensively in a way that goes beyond the typical playmaking role. His tackle numbers are notably consistent, with a peak single-game output of 11 suggesting he steps up when defensive pressure intensifies. A best game of 9 carries and 36 metres indicates he can shift into a more prominent carrying role when the game demands it.
