Across 29 matches Thomas has built a profile defined almost entirely by defensive output, averaging close to six tackles per game and accumulating 168 in total — a volume that marks him as a consistent and reliable presence at the breakdown and around the fringes. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the functional, workmanlike role a prop typically fulfils in structured play rather than open ball-carrying. A single-game peak of 23 tackles underlines that, when required, he is capable of stepping up his defensive effort considerably.
