Across 48 appearances as a replacement, Bower consistently delivers in the defensive trenches, averaging over six tackles per outing with single-game peaks of 17 — figures that speak to a player who arrives and immediately contests hard. His carrying numbers are modest per game, which is expected of a finisher off the bench, yet his willingness to take the ball forward adds a physical dimension late in matches. Two tries across this dataset are a secondary footnote to a profile defined almost entirely by defensive reliability and work-rate.
