Screech's record across 65 matches paints a clear picture of a lock who earns his place through relentless involvement — close to eight tackles per game is the output of a player who defends hard and consistently. His carrying numbers are modest in gain but steady in frequency, suggesting a forward used to shifting the ball in contact rather than making ground in open space. The peak performances, touching 17 tackles and 12 carries in a single match, show he is capable of stepping up his workload significantly when the game demands it.
