Across 17 appearances, Calles has built a profile defined overwhelmingly by defensive output, averaging close to five tackles per match and reaching double figures in a single game — an unusually high workload for a prop. His carrying is used selectively rather than frequently, with his per-match averages suggesting he is deployed as a reliable platform player rather than a ball-carrying threat. That balance points to a specialist who earns his minutes through defensive discipline and positional durability.
