Sirgel's tackle numbers stand out as the clearest indicator of his role — averaging nearly six per match across 14 URC appearances, with a single-game peak of 17, he is consistently asked to do heavy defensive work at the breakdown and in the wider channels. His carrying is steady rather than dominant, contributing around 12 metres per outing, though his best individual performance of 32 metres from 8 carries shows he can make a more pronounced impact with ball in hand when given the opportunity. Three tries across the sample add a finishing dimension to what the numbers primarily describe as a workhorse flanker built around defensive reliability.
