Across 39 appearances, Taylor has built a profile defined above all by defensive reliability, averaging close to six tackles per match and demonstrating the capacity to reach 19 in a single outing. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but a best game of 12 carries for 69 metres shows he can take on a much heavier workload when the team needs it. Five tries across those appearances add a genuine attacking dimension to what is clearly a work-rate-driven game.
