Across 22 matches, Lord has established himself as a high-volume defensive presence, averaging over eight tackles per game and topping 20 in his best outing. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but his consistency with ball in hand — peaking at 13 carries and 69 metres in a single match — reflects a lock who contributes reliably through the phases rather than in isolated bursts. With over 1 000 minutes of action logged, his durability and workrate are defining features of his game.
