Across 22 appearances as a replacement, Kilcoyne consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in the defensive line, averaging roughly equal carries and tackles per outing. His best individual performances show a clear ceiling of genuine physicality — nine carries and seven tackles in a single game — suggesting he can elevate his influence significantly when given extended minutes. The data points to a player whose value lies in reliable, repeatable work rather than headline-grabbing output.
