Across 28 matches Arnold has built a profile defined by consistency rather than explosiveness — averaging over six carries and more than six tackles per game points to a centre who contributes steadily on both sides of the ball. His defensive numbers are particularly striking, with a peak of 14 tackles in a single outing underlining his willingness to do the hard work in the middle channels. Five tries from 167 carries suggests his primary value lies in gaining ground and maintaining defensive shape rather than finishing moves.
