Currently 7/7 with a 6 temp. Clearly underrated
He's a hard working machine, somewhat in the Eisenhuth mould.
2017 Stats (in approximately 40 mins per game, give or take)
92m per game
9.2m per run
30 tackles per game
LESS THAN 1 miss per game
2018 Stats (similar game time)
96m per game
9.6m per run
37 tackles per game
1 miss per game
If given the minutes that Nathan Brown gets, his output would be very similar. He's obviously a very defence oriented prop and, in fact, is our best defender. He has the potential to grab an 8 attack with better possession for his side and more minutes, but I'm not sure he's there yet (even if similar number players do have an 8). I definitely think his defence is underrated. If you watched the first round loss you'd have seen exactly how badly our defence went to shit when Alvaro was off the field.
In fact, despite Parramatta having a F/A of -90 in five games, we have only conceded five tries this season while Alvaro has been on the field. Four of those were in the Manly game, when he came off the bench after three or four tries were already scored. He is the back bone of the Eels defence and when he is off we look awful.
I genuinely believe his tackles per minute and his effectiveness is worth a 7/9, but given his relatively limited minutes compared to many 9 defence players I'll accept a 7/8
