Laravel – Why is my request paramater missing from the post request?

I am attempting to post a form post request using Laravel 11 and PHP 8.3 however the post request is missing from my parameters.

I am getting the error:

Too few arguments to function AppHttpControllersSubscriberController::subscribe(), 0 passed in C:xampphtdocs[folder]vendorlaravelframeworksrcIlluminateRoutingControllerDispatcher.php on line 46 and exactly 1 required

My web routes include:

Route::post('subscribe', [SubscriberController::class, 'subscribe']);

I have been doing some debug on here but the code currently stands at:

<?php

namespace AppHttpControllers;

use AppHttpRequestsSubscriberRequest;
use AppRepositoriesSubscriberRepository;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;

class SubscriberController extends Controller
{
    private $subscriberRepository;

    public function __construct(SubscriberRepository $subscriberRepository) {
        $this->subscriberRepository = new SubscriberRepository();
    }

    public function subscribe($request){//)SubscriberRequest $request) {
        dd($request);
        $request->telno = $this->formatTelNo($request->telno);

        $subscriber = $this->subscriberRepository->newOrUpdate($request);
    
        return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'You have successfully subscribed for updates.');
    }
}

I have included the CSRF Token which I am currently sneakily obtaining via a web route:

Route::get('/token', function () {
    return csrf_token(); 
});

SubscriberRepo:

<?php

namespace AppRepositories;

use AppModelsSubscriber;

class SubscriberRepository
{
    public function newOrUpdate($data)
    {
        dd($data);
        Subscriber::updateOrCreate([
            'email' => $data->email
        ], $data);
    }
}

And finally the request which is currently commented out:

<?php

namespace AppHttpRequests;

use IlluminateFoundationHttpFormRequest;

class SubscriberRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     */
    public function authorize(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array<string, IlluminateContractsValidationValidationRule|array<mixed>|string>
     */
    public function rules(): array
    {
        return [
            'first_name' => 'required',
            'last_name' => 'required',
            'email' => 'required|email',
            'telno' => 'required|string|minlength:10|maxlength:20',
        ];
    }
}

Can anyone explain to me why the post request is not being sent to the subscribe parameters?

As far as I can work out the post request is supposed to be injected into all post route, no?

Really pulling my hair out on this as I feel like it should be working lol

Any help is appeciated

What I was expecting to happen:
The code to run and the $request data to be dd-ed on screen so I can continue my debug and insert the data into subscribers and subsequently send an email to all subscribers and other form submissions

    Your controller method is missing the instance of SubscriberRequest. You should rewrite your code to this.

    public function subscribe(SubscriberRequest $request) {
        dd($request->validated()); // returns all the validated data as an array
}

    You have a missing dependency SubscriberRequest about your form request. Just follow below code.

    public function subscribe(SubscriberRequest $request) 
{
    // for only validated request data
    dd($request->validated());
    // for all form request data
    dd($request->all());
    // ...
}
