Staples carries a heavy defensive load, averaging close to ten tackles per match across his eight appearances — a rate that points to consistent involvement at the heart of contact. His six tries from limited carrying opportunities suggest he reads the game well around the breakdown and short-range channels. That combination of defensive reliability and attacking efficiency makes him a functional, high-impact presence at hooker.
