Across 64 matches, Taylor averages nearly seven tackles per game, pointing to a hooker who pulls serious defensive weight across all competition levels. His try-scoring record of 18 in that span is striking for the position, suggesting he is consistently used as a close-range threat around the breakdown. Peak outputs of 13 carries and 22 tackles in a single match underline that when the game demands it, he steps up his involvement considerably.
