Across 48 matches as a replacement, Kelleher consistently contributes in both directions — his tackle numbers point to a player who buys into defensive work the moment he arrives on the field. His carrying output is steady rather than prolific, though peak performances of 16 carries and 17 tackles in a single match show he can shoulder a significantly heavier load when called upon. Three tries across this sample add a modest but genuine threat around the fringes.
