Usher's tackle numbers tell the clearest story — averaging over eight per match across 15 appearances, with a single-game peak of 17, he carries a heavy defensive workload consistent with a lock who prioritises contest and structure over ball-in-hand. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliably around five carries per match, though his best games show the capacity to push well beyond that. A Player of the Match award across this sample points to at least one performance where both sides of his game came together convincingly.
