Across 33 appearances as a replacement, Hill has built a reputation as a high-volume tackler, averaging nearly six tackles per outing and topping 15 in a single game — figures that point to a player who makes an immediate defensive impact whenever introduced. His carrying numbers are modest by design, reflecting the focused, set-piece and breakdown-oriented role typical of a front-row replacement, though a best of 34 metres in one match shows he can contribute with ball in hand when called upon.
