Norris is defined by his work rate in defence, averaging close to ten tackles per match across his appearances — a figure that speaks to a prop consistently required to make impact beyond the set piece. His carrying numbers are measured rather than expansive, suggesting a role built on reliability and physicality over ball-in-hand ambition. On his best days he combines both disciplines meaningfully, demonstrating the capacity to influence matches in multiple phases.
