Halkon has been a consistent presence across all five matches at the U20 Championship, logging over six carries and seven tackles per game — figures that point to a lock who contributes steadily at both ends of the ball. His carrying is workmanlike rather than explosive, averaging just under 12 metres per appearance, but his tackle numbers are where he stands out, peaking at 11 in a single match and rarely dipping far below that mark. That defensive reliability, combined with his consistent involvement in the carry, suggests a player who brings structured, high-work-rate contributions to the forward effort.
