Across 20 appearances as a replacement, Thacker consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in the defensive line, averaging seven tackles per outing alongside a steady carrying load that has produced over 380 metres in total. His peak performances — reaching 24 carries and 16 tackles in a single match — indicate he is capable of shouldering a significantly heavier workload when called upon. The try return of three from a bench role adds a threat around the fringes that complements his abrasive carrying game.
