Lawrence's numbers paint a picture of a high-usage number 8 who shoulders a significant workload on both sides of the ball, averaging over ten carries and nearly thirteen tackles per match across 48 appearances. His defensive output is particularly striking, with a single-game peak of 28 tackles pointing to his willingness to put in a shift when the pressure is on. While his try-scoring return is modest, the volume of metres he consistently generates through the carry suggests his value lies in grinding out territory rather than finishing.
