Across 18 appearances as a replacement, Hunter-Hill's tackle numbers stand out as the clearest indicator of his value — averaging 6.7 per match with a single-game peak of 19, he consistently makes a high-intensity defensive impact in limited minutes. His carrying role is modest by comparison, suggesting his primary function is to stabilise and strengthen the defensive line rather than carry ball. The numbers paint a picture of a reliable impact substitute whose contributions are measured in stops rather than metres gained.
