Varotto's averages tell the story of a player used in short, high-impact bursts — yet when given the ball he consistently makes ground, averaging over 23 metres per appearance across his six matches. His best outing underlines the ceiling: five carries, 54 metres, and three tackles in a single game points to a player who can swing momentum when introduced from the bench. His defensive contribution, while modest in volume, arrives reliably alongside his carrying work, suggesting he pulls his weight in both directions during his time on the park.
