McFarland's output across 30 matches points to a flanker who shoulders consistent work in both phases, averaging over eight tackles and seven carries per game across four competitions. His defensive numbers are particularly striking — a single-game peak of 24 tackles suggests he is capable of taking on an outsized share of the defensive workload when required. With 550 metres carried from 210 attempts, he contributes meaningfully with ball in hand without dominating possession, reflecting the measured, all-round profile of a modern openside.
