Across 26 appearances, Daniel has built a consistent profile as a high-availability hooker whose tackle numbers stand out as his primary contribution — averaging close to four per match across over 500 minutes of action. His carrying is functional rather than dominant, used in short bursts to maintain momentum rather than break the gain line, with his best individual outings showing he can lift both his physical presence and ground made when called upon. The picture that emerges is of a player who earns his minutes through defensive diligence and reliability at the set piece fringes.
