Across 76 matches Watson averages over nine tackles per game, a figure that speaks to a defensive workload few flankers sustain at this level over such a broad range of competitions. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but a single-game peak of 21 carries and 61 metres shows he can shoulder a much heavier ball-carrying burden when the game demands it. The combination of consistent tackling volume and reliable carry numbers across nearly 3 600 minutes defines him as a high-output, dependable presence at the breakdown.
