Dylan Nealis: The Relentless Worker
The best thing about his game is the repeat effort, again and again without a drop.
He’ll step in to win a tackle, then be the next runner up the flank to keep the attack alive. That constant movement creates options for Forsberg and Carmona because defenders have to keep checking their shoulder. He also brings discipline, staying switched on so counters don’t become a straight runway down his channel. For a team that wants to press and play fast, that work rate is gold.
