Across nine appearances as a replacement, McAllister has built a reputation primarily through his defensive work, averaging over six tackles per match and reaching 16 in a single outing — figures that point to an impactful shift presence. He contributes steadily with ball in hand, and while his carrying numbers reflect the limited minutes typical of a finisher role, a best of 22 metres in one game shows he can make his carries count when the opportunity arises.
