Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier with finishing instinct

Across 87 appearances Dyer has consistently contributed with ball in hand, averaging close to six carries and over 40 metres per match — numbers that point to an active, work-rate winger rather than a peripheral one. His 23 tries across those matches show he converts involvement into scores at a steady rate, while a tackle average of nearly four per game and a single-match peak of 11 demonstrate he carries defensive responsibility as well. When the moments demand it, his ceiling jumps sharply — nearly 200 metres and 13 carries in a single outing underline the explosiveness that sits beneath the consistent baseline.
