Across eight appearances as a replacement, Gardrat's tackle numbers stand out sharply — averaging close to five per game and peaking at 17 in a single outing, which points to a player regularly asked to shore up defence when he enters the field. His carrying is selective rather than prominent, but a best game of 32 metres from four carries shows he can make his limited ball touches count. The overall picture is of a high-impact finisher whose primary value lies in defensive reliability late in matches.
