Coming off the bench across 17 Super Rugby appearances, Bell contributes immediately with a consistent carrying and tackling output that belies his replacement role. His tackle numbers are particularly striking, averaging close to eight per match and peaking at 14 in a single game, indicating a player who is heavily involved in defensive structures from the moment he takes the field. Eight tries from 98 carries also points to a strong conversion rate around the gainline, suggesting he is used in targeted, high-impact phases late in matches.
