Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Reliable impact defender off the bench

Across 21 appearances as a replacement, Welsch has built a consistent profile defined primarily by his defensive output, averaging four tackles per game and reaching nine in his best single outing. His carrying numbers are modest by design — just two to three touches a game — yet he has shown the ability to contribute meaningfully with ball in hand when called upon, peaking at 41 metres in a single match. Three tries across the dataset suggest he finds ways to be effective near the line despite limited overall involvement.
