Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Reliable carrier, relentless defensive presence

Across 29 matches, Arnold has established himself as a high-volume centre whose workload on both sides of the ball is consistently significant. His carrying numbers point to a player trusted to make hard metres through contact, while averaging over six tackles per game — with peaks of 14 in a single outing — underlines a genuine defensive commitment. His five tries across the dataset suggest he supplements his abrasive work with a finishing threat when opportunities present themselves.
