Across 100 matches McGrath shows up as a steady, reliable presence at nine — his per-game tackle numbers reflect a player who defends hard off the ruck, while his carry averages point to a scrum half who moves the ball efficiently rather than looking to make yards himself. His 18 tries over that sample show he knows when to exploit space near the line. The peak outputs — 10 carries and 12 tackles in a single game — indicate he can lift his workload significantly when the match demands it.
