Simpson's numbers reflect a measured replacement role, averaging just under a carry per appearance but generating a consistent five metres each time he touches the ball — efficiency that hints at purposeful running lines rather than volume seeking. His tackle count is minimal across the dataset, suggesting his primary contribution on arrival is in the carry rather than defensive shape. With 116 minutes spread across nine matches, his impact windows are short, making every carry count.
