Across 68 matches and more than 3,000 minutes of action, Sadie's output is defined above all by his defensive consistency — averaging close to five tackles per game, with a single-match peak of 16 that underlines his capacity to dominate when the contest demands it. His carry numbers are modest in volume, as you would expect from a tighthead operating within a structured forward unit, but his best carrying performances show he can make meaningful metres when called upon. The overall picture is of a prop who earns his time through durability and disciplined work-rate rather than flashy statistics.
