Gavin contributes a steady volume of work across both phases, averaging over eight carries and five tackles per appearance from a replacement role. His carrying numbers suggest he is used to make ground and maintain momentum late in games, while his tackling output points to genuine defensive responsibility rather than a peripheral impact. A peak of 13 tackles in a single match indicates he can shoulder a significant defensive burden when called upon.
