Across his seven appearances, Pohlmann's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging over two tackles per match with a single-game high of seven — significant productivity for a front-rower. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a role that prioritises set-piece and breakdown duties over ball-in-hand involvement. When he does carry, gains are minimal, underscoring that his value lies in what he does without the ball.
