Across 16 matches, Reffell's output is defined by his defensive workload — averaging nearly 12 tackles per game and peaking at 42 in a single outing, which points to a player consistently asked to do the heavy lifting at the breakdown and in the line. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, suggesting his primary value is in winning collisions and staying on his feet rather than making metres. The volume of minutes accumulated underlines that he is a trusted, durable presence in the Ulster loose trio.
