Winnett's workload at the back is notably high for a fullback, regularly taking the ball into contact and accumulating metres in a way that points to an active, ball-carrying role rather than a purely defensive one. His per-match figures hold up consistently across 19 appearances, and his peak outings — cresting 120 metres and 16 carries in a single game — show he can step up his involvement significantly when the game demands it. The tackle numbers are modest, suggesting his primary defensive contribution comes through positioning and sweeping rather than line-speed confrontations.
