Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Efficient carrier from the bench

Across 11 appearances as a replacement, Wolstenholme has shown he can make an immediate physical impact in limited minutes, averaging over five metres per carry when introduced. His best outings demonstrate a higher ceiling, with four carries for 35 metres in a single game pointing to what he offers when given opportunity. His tackle numbers are modest, reflecting a role where his carrying threat is the primary contribution off the bench.
