Across 19 matches, Depoortere combines consistent ball-carrying volume with a strong try-scoring return, suggesting he is a reliable attacking weapon in midfield rather than an occasional threat. His tackling numbers are equally notable, averaging over six per match with a single-game peak of 17, which points to a centre who shoulders genuine defensive responsibility. The balance between metres gained and defensive output indicates a player who operates near the heart of the action on both sides of the ball.
