Across 16 matches, Calles has built a profile defined almost entirely by his work without the ball, averaging close to five tackles per game and accumulating 74 in total — a volume that underlines his consistent defensive output at prop. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a role focused on set-piece and breakdown duty rather than ball-in-hand impact. When he does carry, a best single-game return of 5 carries for 24 metres shows he can make his limited touches count.
