We hold a single season for Tapp, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, top 20% of the 42 centre-backs in the A-League. At 25 Tapp is in his prime years, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 19.5, Tapp carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League (top 20%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Central Coast Mariners finished 9th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 25, Tapp sits on 2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Tapp's projected Rating — 19.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
