Across 85 matches, Kelleher operates as a high-volume defensive presence, averaging close to six tackles per game with a single-match peak of 23 — numbers that point to a hooker who shoulders consistent frontline defensive responsibility. His carrying workload is steady rather than explosive, but his ability to contribute double-digit metres per outing and 10 tries over the dataset shows he remains a genuine threat around the fringes. The combination of nearly 500 tackles and over 300 carries across competitions underlines a player who is heavily involved in the physical contest throughout a match.
