Across 48 matches, Orie's workload is defined by his defensive output — averaging over nine tackles per game and accumulating 435 in total, which points to a player consistently asked to do the hard yards at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value lies in defensive structure rather than ball-in-hand threat, though single-game peaks of 23 tackles and 39 metres show he can lift when the moment demands it. With nearly 3 000 minutes logged across multiple competitions, his durability and consistency across different stages and formats is a clear part of what he brings.
