Across 10 appearances as a replacement, Halliwell's output is heavily weighted toward defence, averaging close to three tackles per game and reaching eight in a single outing. His carrying is limited in volume and gain, which is consistent with a forward used primarily to reinforce the defensive line rather than carry ball. The tackle numbers indicate he is reliable in contact when introduced, making an immediate defensive contribution within restricted minutes.
