Across 48 matches Porter shows up as a consistent defensive presence, averaging close to four tackles per game with a single-match peak of 14 — the mark of a prop who does not switch off without the ball. His carrying numbers are modest on a per-game basis, as you would expect from a tight forward, yet his best outings show genuine ability to take the ball into contact when called upon, reaching 12 carries and 19 metres in a single match. The one player-of-the-match award across this dataset hints at a player whose value is spread across the full 80 minutes rather than concentrated in headline moments.
