Across 19 matches, Porecki's tackle numbers stand out as his primary contribution — consistently around six per game, with a single-match peak of 14 that underlines his capacity to carry a heavy defensive workload at set-piece and breakdown. His carry counts are modest, reflecting the controlled, efficiency-focused role he plays rather than a ball-carrying brief, yet three tries across this dataset show he times his runs into the frontline with genuine purpose. He is the kind of hooker whose value is felt most acutely in what the numbers don't glamorise — the relentless, low-profile defensive graft that holds a forward pack together.
