Coming off the bench, Bokenham consistently makes his presence felt both with ball in hand and in the defensive line, averaging nearly six tackles and close to seven carries per appearance. His best outings show he can push well beyond those averages — peaking at 14 carries and 51 metres in a single game — suggesting he has the capacity to take on a larger share of the workload when called upon. Across five matches in the Champions Cup and Premiership, his numbers point to a replacement who arrives with intent and purpose.
