Across 50 matches O'Brien has shown he can be relied upon as an active ball-carrier, averaging close to seven carries per game and contributing meaningful metres every time he takes the field. His try return of 25 demonstrates a consistent ability to finish, while single-game peaks of 13 carries, 127 metres and 10 tackles indicate he can lift significantly when the occasion demands. He is not a peripheral winger — the tackle numbers confirm he puts in defensive shifts that go well beyond what his position strictly requires.
