Across 52 appearances, Nicholas has built a consistent profile as a high-volume ball carrier who contributes meaningfully with ball in hand every time he takes the field. His single-game peaks of 14 carries, 93 metres and 16 tackles indicate he can shift into a far more prominent role when the game demands it, suggesting there is a higher ceiling to his output than his steady per-match averages reflect. His tackle numbers point to a full back who is expected to, and does, engage regularly in defensive work rather than operating purely as an attacking threat.
