Across his six appearances as a replacement, Knowles has consistently contributed more through defence than with ball in hand, averaging over two tackles per outing while his carrying remains limited in scope. His best individual performance — seven tackles and three carries — points to a player who can make an immediate defensive impact when introduced from the bench. The numbers reflect a specialist role focused on slowing opposition momentum rather than generating it.
