Across 26 matches, his tackle numbers stand out as the defining feature of his game — averaging nearly seven per match and peaking at 17 in a single outing, he carries a substantial defensive workload for a lock. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliably in the tight phases with over 130 carries in the dataset. The three tries recorded suggest he also finds his way into scoring positions when the opportunity arises.
