Across 68 matches Blade has shown a consistent appetite to get involved beyond the ruck, averaging just under five carries per game and contributing 25 tries — a return that underlines his effectiveness close to the gainline. His carrying numbers suggest a player who picks his moments rather than dominates volume, yet he reaches double figures in a single game when the opportunity arises, pointing to genuine explosiveness when space opens up. His tackle count is modest by positional standards, reflecting a role built more around attack and scoring threats than defensive workload.
