Across 60 matches Am consistently does the unglamorous work that holds a midfield together — averaging under five carries per game but accumulating well over a thousand metres in total, pointing to a centre who makes his touches count rather than dominating possession. His tackle count across the dataset is substantial, and his single-game peak of 11 tackles shows he can shoulder a heavy defensive burden when required. Ten tries over this sample add a finishing dimension without suggesting he is used primarily as an attacking weapon.
