Across 10 matches John averages nearly eight tackles per game, marking him out as a consistently high-volume defender for a prop. His carrying output is limited both in frequency and metres gained, suggesting his primary contribution is in the tight defensive channels rather than with ball in hand. His peak of 16 tackles in a single match underlines the ceiling of his defensive work-rate when called upon.
