Across 82 matches Kelleher has built a profile defined by consistent defensive output, averaging close to six tackles per game with a single-match peak of 23, underlining his reliability at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying numbers are modest on a per-game basis but he has contributed over 800 metres in total, and his 10 tries across competitions show he remains a genuine threat around the fringes. The volume of minutes accumulated points to a hooker who is regularly trusted to do the heavy lifting throughout full matches rather than in short bursts.
