Across 36 matches his tackle numbers stand out as the defining feature of his game, averaging over four per outing with a single-game peak of 12 — the output of a forward who stays involved deep into contact situations. His carry numbers are modest on average but his best performances show he can push well beyond that ceiling, suggesting he raises his carrying workload when the match demands it. The combination of defensive volume and carrying capability across more than a thousand minutes points to a reliable, hard-working presence in the tight exchanges.
