Across 49 matches and over 1,400 minutes of action, Furlong's output reflects a prop who earns his keep through defensive graft rather than volume carrying — averaging close to four tackles per match, with a single-game peak of 18, points to a player who is regularly asked to do heavy lifting in the loose. His carrying numbers are modest by design, consistent with a tighthead role where positional discipline takes priority, yet his three tries and a best of 10 carries in one outing confirm he is not without impact when the opportunity presents itself.
