Across 47 matches, Farrell's output is defined far more by his defensive work than his involvement in the carry game — averaging over four tackles per appearance and reaching 17 in a single match points to a player who consistently shoulders significant defensive responsibility. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting a role that prioritises structure and distribution over gaining metres with ball in hand. When he does carry, the returns are steady rather than explosive, reinforcing the picture of a centre whose value lies in what he does without the ball.
