Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Reliable carrier and defensive workhorse

Dyer brings consistent physicality across both phases of the game, contributing meaningfully with ball in hand and making his presence felt defensively match after match. His tackle counts are a particular standout, with a best game of ten tackles underlining his commitment at the breakdown and in the wider defensive structure. While his metres per carry remain modest, his carrying frequency suggests a player trusted to provide forward momentum and continuity in tight exchanges.
