Across 48 matches Ribaldi has built a profile defined overwhelmingly by his defensive output, averaging close to six tackles per game and accumulating 278 in total — a workload that marks him as a primary line-of-defence contributor at hooker. His carrying numbers are modest in volume and gain, reflecting a role focused on set-piece and defensive duties rather than ball-in-hand impact, though individual games peaking at nine carries and 18 tackles show he can lift significantly when required.
