Across 35 appearances and over 2,200 minutes of action, Schickerling presents as a high-volume contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging seven tackles per match with single-game peaks of 14 — figures that point to a lock who carries genuine defensive responsibility. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, consistently adding metres through contact and demonstrating the durability expected of a front-line forward. The four tries across this dataset suggest he is also active at the breakdown and around the fringes when opportunities arise.
