Taylor's tackle numbers stand out as his defining trait — averaging nearly seven per match across 18 appearances, with a single-game peak of 19 that points to genuine defensive durability at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing close to five carries and just under 16 metres per match, suggesting a player who works within structure and supports continuity. The four tries across this dataset add a finishing dimension that completes a profile built primarily on high-volume defensive work.
