Across 29 appearances, Laclayat's tackle output stands as his most defining trait — averaging 4.5 per match with a single-game peak of 12, he contributes consistently at the breakdown and in the defensive line. His carrying numbers are modest but functional for a prop, with occasional bursts that demonstrate he can make genuine metres when called upon. His two tries and steady minute count across three competitions point to a player trusted to deliver within a structured forward role.
