Across 11 appearances as a replacement, Hancock's output is defined by his defensive contribution, averaging over three tackles per match with a single-game peak of 11 — a figure that points to genuine impact when called upon. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand responsibilities typically afforded to a replacement, though his best game of six carries and eight metres shows he can contribute with ball in hand when the opportunity arises. Over 233 minutes of action spanning the Challenge Cup and Premiership, his profile is consistently that of a disciplined, defence-first operator.
