Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Reliable carrier and defensive workhorse

McCarthy's tackle numbers stand out as his most consistent contribution, averaging over four per match across nine appearances and reaching double figures in his best outings. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, offering dependable metres around the fringes with occasional games where he drives significant go-forward. The combination points to a prop who earns his minutes through defensive solidity and consistent involvement rather than headline-grabbing attacking moments.
