Across 79 matches Farrell has established himself as a consistent workhorse in the centres, averaging close to ten carries per game and contributing over 2700 metres with the ball in hand. His tackle count of more than 500 across those appearances underlines a strong defensive work rate, and peak outputs of 18 carries, 147 metres, and 18 tackles in a single match show he can reach a significantly higher gear when the game demands it. The combination of carrying volume and defensive output points to a centre who fulfils a demanding two-way role week in, week out.
