Across 58 matches, Nothnagel's output is defined almost entirely by his work without the ball — averaging over six tackles per game and peaking at 22 in a single outing, he functions as a high-volume defensive workhorse at lock. His carrying numbers are modest and purposeful rather than expansive, suggesting a role built around set-piece physicality and defensive structure rather than ball-in-hand impact.
Born on 25 September 1997, Reinhard is 28 years old, stands 201cm (6′7″) tall and weighs 117kg.
