Across 48 appearances Joyce has built a profile defined by consistent defensive output, averaging over seven tackles per match and accumulating more than 360 in total — figures that point to a lock heavily involved in the collision work throughout games. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but the volume across 2600-plus minutes reflects a player who contributes reliably in both phases rather than surfacing only at set-piece time. His peak performances, touching double figures in carries and 17 tackles in a single match, show he is capable of stepping up his workload when the game demands it.
