Across 29 matches Bayliss presents as a high-volume workhorse, consistently racking up carries and ground gained in a way that points to a player trusted to shift the ball through traffic rather than wait at the fringes. His tackle numbers per game are solid rather than spectacular, yet his single-game peaks — nearly a hundred metres and 13 tackles in one outing — reveal a capacity to dominate when the contest demands it. The six tries add a finishing dimension that makes him a genuine threat beyond the breakdown.
