Across 77 appearances, Heffernan's averages of nearly nine tackles and six carries per match paint a picture of a hooker who operates at high intensity on both sides of the ball. His ability to rack up 22 tackles and 18 carries in a single game underlines the ceiling of his workload, suggesting he can shift into a dominant role when the game demands it. With nine tries from over 450 carries, he is a consistent threat around the fringes rather than a passenger at the breakdown.
