Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Industrious carrier and defensive enforcer

Across 32 matches Laclayat shows up as a consistent defensive presence, averaging over four tackles per game with single-match peaks of 12, underlining a reliable work rate at the breakdown and in the wider defensive line. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful for a prop, with occasional bursts suggesting he can threaten gainlines when the opportunity presents. The 1391 minutes accumulated across three competitions point to a player who earns sustained trust at this level.
