Across 66 matches, Carter has built a profile defined by extraordinary defensive consistency, averaging over 12 tackles per game from the lock position — a figure that speaks to a player who is central to his team's defensive structure week in, week out. His carrying numbers are modest in gain but remarkably steady, suggesting a forward used to shift momentum in the contact area rather than break the line. The peak outputs of 24 tackles and 12 carries in a single match confirm that when the game demands more, he has the engine to deliver it.
