Across four Super Rugby appearances off the bench, Lam has built a reputation as a reliable defensive presence, averaging eight tackles per match — a high return for a replacement. His carrying numbers suggest he is used to make direct, purposeful metres after coming on, with a standout individual outing of 59 metres from six carries demonstrating his ability to shift momentum late in games. The combination of consistent tackling output and productive ball-in-hand work paints the picture of a physically engaged impact substitute.
