Across 49 matches, Steward functions as a primary ball-carrier rather than a peripheral last line, averaging over eight carries and 53 metres per game at full back — a workload that points to consistent involvement in structured play rather than opportunistic touches. His single-game peaks of 18 carries and 304 metres illustrate the ceiling of his impact when given space and ball, while ten tries across the dataset confirm he converts that involvement into scores at a meaningful rate. His tackle count is modest by position, suggesting his defensive role is measured and that his primary value lies in what he generates with ball in hand.
