Across 34 matches Lord has built a profile defined by defensive consistency, averaging 7.4 tackles per game and topping out at 20 in a single outing — figures that point to a lock who carries significant defensive responsibility. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, with 4.4 carries per game, though a peak of 13 carries for 69 metres in one match shows he can step up his involvement when required. He is the kind of forward who accumulates impact over the full 80 minutes, and his 1 520 minutes of action across multiple competitions speaks to durability as much as anything else.
