Benadie's match data across six Currie Cup appearances paints a picture of a lock who earns his minutes through defensive consistency, averaging close to four tackles per game with a single-match peak of seven. His carrying is measured rather than prolific, but he regularly gains positive metres when called upon, suggesting he is used with purpose rather than frequency. The balance between his tackle count and his limited ball-in-hand workload points to a player whose primary value is structured and physical — a workhorse in the tight exchanges.
