Across 17 appearances as a replacement, Quattrini has built a consistent record as a high-volume tackler, averaging over four tackles per outing with a single-game peak of nine — a clear indicator of his defensive impact in limited minutes. His carrying numbers are modest by design, suggesting his primary brief on arrival is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry the attack. Four tries across these appearances show he is not without an offensive contribution, but it is his reliability in contact defence that defines his replacement role.
