Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive anchor

Across 90 matches, Fagerson's output reflects a player who functions as a high-volume workhorse on both sides of the ball — consistently racking up carries and tackles at a rate that points to a central role in both attack and defence. His defensive numbers are particularly striking, with nearly ten tackles per match across his career sample and a single-game peak of 24, suggesting he is regularly asked to do heavy defensive shifts. While his try-scoring return is modest relative to his carry volume, the metres he generates indicate he carries with purpose and forward momentum rather than as a static option.
