Roe's tackle numbers stand out for a scrum half, averaging over three per game across his 13 Super Rugby appearances and peaking at eight in a single outing, pointing to a player who actively involves himself in the defensive line rather than sheltering behind it. His carrying is measured and purposeful — he is not a high-volume ball-runner, but his per-carry metreage shows he makes his touches count when he does go to ground. The combination of consistent defensive output and selective but effective carrying suggests a scrum half who prioritises control and work rate over individual flair.
