Across 15 Top 14 appearances as a replacement, Bitz has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging over four tackles per match and peaking at 20 in a single outing. His carrying numbers are modest by design, suggesting his primary function when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry the attack. That peak tackle figure points to the capacity to shoulder a significant defensive workload when the game demands it.
