Across 15 appearances as a replacement, Caine has averaged close to seven tackles per outing — a figure that speaks to a player who arrives on the field and immediately commits to the defensive effort. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a role built around physicality and work-rate rather than ball-in-hand volume. When called upon in heavier minutes, he demonstrates the capacity to significantly lift those numbers, with single-game peaks of 18 tackles and 8 carries underlining what he can produce at his ceiling.
