Preston's tackle numbers stand out across the five matches, averaging nearly ten per game with a single-game peak of fifteen, marking him as a primary defensive carrier at the base of the scrum. His carrying load is consistent rather than explosive, contributing just under nineteen metres per match from over six carries, suggesting a role focused on go-forward and maintaining continuity. Two tries across the campaign show he reaches the line when opportunities arise, adding an attacking dimension to what is primarily a high-work-rate defensive profile.
