Paterson's volume in the carry is a defining feature of his game — averaging over seven carries and 46 metres per match across 25 appearances signals a full back who is consistently involved in attack rather than operating as a last resort. His best outings push well beyond those averages, with individual performances reaching 17 carries and 125 metres, suggesting he can shift from reliable contributor to primary ball-carrier when the game demands it. Defensively, his tackle count is modest on a per-match basis but his peak of eight in a single match shows he is capable of shouldering a much heavier workload when required.
