Across 33 appearances as a replacement, Lucchesi's tackle numbers stand out as his most consistent contribution — averaging over five per match and reaching 20 in a single game, which points to an impact role built around defensive reliability. His carry counts are modest on average, but peaks of 10 carries and 19 metres in a match show he can shift into a ball-carrying mode when the game demands it. The combination of high tackle volume and over 800 minutes accumulated suggests a finisher who is trusted to protect leads and stabilise defences late in matches.
