Austin's tackle numbers stand out most sharply — averaging over five per match from a replacement role points to a player who hits the ground running defensively whenever he comes on. His carrying is consistent rather than explosive, contributing reliably in short bursts, while two tries across seven appearances show he finds his way into attacking moments when the opportunity presents. His best individual outings, with nine carries and twelve tackles in a single game, suggest he can shoulder a significantly heavier workload when called upon.
