Bell combines a consistent carrying load with genuine metres-after-contact, averaging close to 23 metres per match across his appearances for the Crusaders. His tackle numbers are equally telling — nearly nine per game, with a single-match peak of 14 — pointing to a hooker who shoulders a heavy defensive shift across all 80 minutes. The seven tries from 11 matches further underline a player who consistently arrives in support lines and converts opportunity at the breakdown.
