Across 34 appearances, Bamber's tackle numbers stand out most — averaging over 12 per match and peaking at 27 in a single game, which points to a player who carries significant defensive responsibility in the tight. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing consistently around the gainline without dominating ball-in-hand statistics. The combination of high minutes played and that volume of defensive work suggests a lock who earns his place through durability and work-rate.
