Across 35 appearances for Dragons, Benjamin has built a profile defined primarily by defensive consistency, averaging close to five tackles per match and accumulating over 160 in total. His carrying numbers are modest in volume but purposeful, suggesting a hooker used in a controlled, set-piece-oriented role rather than as a primary ball-runner. Peak performances of 17 tackles and 7 carries in a single game indicate he can step up his workload significantly when the match demands it.
