Macpherson's tackle numbers stand out sharply for a replacement, averaging over six per appearance and peaking at 18 in a single game, which points to a player who consistently enters matches with defensive intent. His carry contribution is steady rather than dominant, suggesting his primary value off the bench is in securing the gainline through hard contact rather than creating front-foot ball. Two tries across his appearances show he reads the game well enough to find the right moments, even within a limited carrying role.
