Across six appearances as a replacement, Byrne contributes a steady stream of carries and physical metres, with his best outings showing he can double his average workload when called upon. His tackle numbers are modest but consistent, reflecting a role focused primarily on maintaining forward momentum after he enters the game. The gap between his typical output and his peak performances suggests he has the capacity to step up when given extended minutes.
