Across nine appearances as a replacement, Hire has shown consistent defensive contribution, averaging over two tackles per outing with a single-game high of five. His carrying numbers are modest in volume but reflect the limited minutes a finisher typically receives, and his best games — six carries for ten metres — suggest he can make his presence felt when given the opportunity. The tackle count is the standout thread through his data, pointing to a player who prioritises defensive duty when introduced from the bench.
