Across nine appearances as a replacement, Rewcastle has built a consistent picture as a tackler first — his 16 tackles across 178 minutes reflect a player who contributes defensively from the moment he arrives on the field. His carrying is used sparingly, averaging just over one carry per outing, though single-game peaks of 5 tackles and 8 metres gained show he can step up his involvement when called upon. The data points to a back-up option whose primary value lies in defensive solidity rather than ball-in-hand impact.
