Across 23 matches Riley has consistently contributed both with ball in hand and in defence, averaging over four tackles per game while accumulating more than 350 metres from his carries. His try-scoring return of nine across the dataset points to a meaningful threat around the fringes, and peak performances of 16 carries and 11 tackles in a single match indicate he can step up his workload significantly when required. The numbers paint a picture of a dependable replacement who brings genuine two-way value each time he takes the field.
