Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Tireless defender anchoring the tight exchanges

Across 67 matches Koch's tackle counts stand out as his most consistent contribution, averaging close to four per game with a single-match peak of 19 — the kind of output that defines a reliable defensive presence off the bench. His carrying role is measured rather than prominent, but the numbers across over 2,000 minutes of action point to a prop who brings disciplined, repeatable work at the gain line. Four tries across that body of appearances add a finishing dimension that surfaces just often enough to be notable.
