Across four URC appearances, Dalton averages over five tackles per match, with a single-game high of 13 suggesting he can shoulder a significant defensive burden when called upon. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but he consistently gains ground at the gain line, averaging nine metres per match. The combination points to a lock who earns his minutes through reliability in both phases rather than standout moments.
