Across 74 appearances Blade has built a profile that goes well beyond service, averaging nearly five carries per match and crossing for 26 tries — a return that marks him out as a genuine threat around the fringes. His carrying game is consistent rather than explosive, accumulating yards in manageable chunks, though single-game peaks of 12 carries and 110 metres show he can shift into a higher gear when the situation demands. His tackle numbers are modest, which is typical for the position, but the volume of minutes on the clock underlines how regularly he is trusted to direct play.
