Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Efficient link man, reliable defensive presence

Across 28 matches McGrath presents as a measured, low-volume ball carrier whose consistency in contact and territory gain reflects a disciplined service role rather than a primary running threat. His tackle numbers are the standout metric, with peaks of 11 in a single game underlining his capacity to shoulder a genuine defensive workload when required. The data paints a picture of a replacement who contributes reliably on both sides of the ball without dominating either.
