Across 17 appearances as a replacement, Gasperini has built a consistent profile as a high-volume tackler, averaging close to five per outing and demonstrating the defensive solidity expected of a finishing-bench forward. His carrying numbers are measured rather than explosive in typical matches, though peak performances of 12 carries and 37 metres in a single game show he can take on a genuine ball-carrying load when called upon. Three tries across the dataset add a useful attacking dimension to what is primarily a workmanlike, defensive-first impact game.
