Woodburn's workload in the carry game is a consistent feature of his game, averaging double figures per match with over 60 metres gained each time out — numbers that point to a full back used as an active ball-runner rather than a last line. His try return across the sample adds a finishing dimension to that volume, while his tackle count, though modest per game, reflects a player whose primary defensive exposure is managed rather than heavy. The peak outputs — 17 carries and 174 metres in a single match — suggest he can absorb a significantly elevated share of the running burden when required.
