Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive workhorse

Across 58 matches, Moriarty consistently fills a high-volume physical role, averaging over seven tackles and six carries per game with the capacity to spike well beyond those averages — his single-game peaks of 20 tackles and 16 carries illustrate a player who rises in demanding contests. His carries convert efficiently into metres, pointing to a hard-running style that gains ground rather than simply making up numbers. The try-scoring contribution adds a further dimension to what is primarily a graft-and-gain profile at the base of the pack.
