Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Reliable carrier and defensive workhorse

Coming off the bench in URC action, Dalton consistently contributes both with ball in hand and without it, averaging seven tackles per appearance alongside meaningful metres gained through his carries. His best performances show he can shoulder a significantly heavier load when required, spiking to 20 tackles and 52 metres in a single match. That combination of defensive volume and carrying threat makes him a purposeful impact option from the replacements bench.
