Across 13 matches, Macleod consistently operates as a high-volume tackler, averaging nearly 12 tackles per game with a single-match peak of 21 — numbers that reflect a player central to defensive structure at the breakdown and in open play. His carries are efficient rather than spectacular, producing steady meters-per-game that suggest a purposeful, gain-line-focused running style rather than an impact-finisher role. Five tries across the dataset add a credible attacking dimension that prevents him from being read purely as a defensive specialist.
