Across eight appearances as a replacement, Pater consistently makes his minutes count, averaging close to 30 metres per outing from a compact carry count — a ratio that points to a player who breaks through rather than runs sideways. His three tries from 37 carries underline a genuine threat around the gain line, and his best game of 11 carries for 109 metres suggests he can take over a match when given the opportunity.
