Carrera's tackle numbers stand out as the clearest indicator of his role — close to eight per match across eleven appearances signals a player heavily invested in defensive duties at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, averaging just over four carries a game, though a single-game peak of 32 metres shows he can make genuine ground when called upon. The combination of consistent tackling volume and measured ball-carrying paints a picture of a lock who earns his minutes through work-rate and physicality rather than headline statistics.
