Across 42 appearances, Hawkshaw has built a profile defined by consistent involvement on both sides of the ball, averaging over five carries and five tackles per match. His best performances show he can shoulder a significantly heavier workload when required, pushing into double figures for tackles and approaching 90 metres in a single outing. That combination of moderate volume with clear upside in bigger moments points to a centre who contributes steadily rather than in bursts.
