Coming off the bench for Ulster across three competitions, Dalton has established himself as a reliable impact option who makes his presence felt on both sides of the ball. His carrying numbers reflect steady forward momentum each time he takes the field, while his tackle counts — peaking at 20 in a single outing — point to a player who takes defensive responsibility seriously when introduced. That balance of physicality in contact and workrate without the ball makes him a dependable replacement option.
