Slabbert's match data tells the story of a lock whose primary value lies in defence, averaging over six tackles per game across 22 appearances and reaching 14 in a single outing. His carrying is measured rather than prominent, contributing consistently in the tight without dominating ball-in-hand statistics. The combination of high tackle volumes and steady minutes across four competitions points to a reliable, workmanlike presence in the engine room.
