Across five Top 14 appearances as a replacement, Adelaide has built a consistent profile defined more by defensive output than ball-carrying, averaging over three tackles per game. His carry numbers are modest in both volume and metres gained, suggesting his primary value on the park is in defensive structure rather than creating go-forward. His best individual performances hint at the capacity to lift that workrate further when given the opportunity.
