Faessler contributes consistently across both phases, averaging nearly seven tackles per match across 24 appearances to form a dependable defensive presence at hooker. His try-scoring return of seven across these matches shows he reaches the line with purpose, while his carrying numbers reflect a player who works efficiently within the system rather than dominating ball-in-hand. Single-game peaks of 18 tackles and 8 carries indicate he can step up his output meaningfully when the match demands it.
