Across 41 matches Schickerling has been a consistently high-volume contributor in both the carry and the tackle, averaging over seven tackles per game and posting a single-game high of 14 — numbers that point to a lock who works both sides of the ball with discipline. His carrying load is steady rather than explosive, but the capacity to hit 12 carries and 49 metres in a single outing shows he can step up his offensive output when the game demands it. Four tries across the dataset add a finishing dimension that rounds out his profile as a forward who contributes across multiple phases.
