Across 39 matches Ruddock presents as a high-volume, consistent contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging over seven tackles and nearly seven carries per outing. His defensive numbers are particularly striking — a single-game peak of 18 tackles underlines the capacity to shoulder a dominant defensive workload when required. Five tries from 263 carries also signals that he converts his involvement into scores at a meaningful rate for a forward of his role.
