Klein's match data across six appearances paints a clear picture of a replacement whose primary impact is defensive, averaging three and a half tackles per outing in under twenty minutes of action per game. His tackle numbers consistently outweigh his carrying contributions, suggesting he is deployed to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball. When he does carry, his best single-game output of six carries for twelve metres shows he can contribute with ball in hand when called upon.
