Calder's match data paints a clear picture of a specialist impact replacement whose value is almost entirely defensive — his tackle numbers are the standout feature of his game, averaging close to five per appearance and peaking at eleven in a single match. His carrying involvement is minimal, reflecting a role focused on holding the defensive line rather than carrying the attack. The consistency of his tackle output across fourteen Super Rugby appearances underlines his reliability in that area whenever called upon.
