Across 23 matches as a replacement, Baird consistently contributes in both phases, with his tackle numbers standing out as a particular strength for a forward coming off the bench. His carrying is efficient rather than high-volume, reflecting the controlled impact role a replacement typically fills, though peaks of 10 carries and 54 metres in a single game show he can take on a much larger share of the workload when required. Two tries across the dataset add a finishing dimension to his forward contributions.
