Across 30 matches, Norris has built a profile defined by exceptional defensive output, averaging nearly nine tackles per game and peaking at 20 in a single outing — a remarkable figure for a prop. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing consistently at around four carries per match to keep the forward momentum ticking. The combination of high tackle counts and disciplined carry numbers points to a front-rower who fulfils a demanding, high-workload role on both sides of the ball.
