Maximin's tackle numbers stand out as the defining feature of his game — averaging close to seven per match across 25 appearances points to a lock who takes on significant defensive responsibility at both club and European level. He contributes reliably with ball in hand without dominating possession, suggesting a role built around work rate and physicality rather than primary carrying. His peak outputs of 11 carries and 23 tackles in a single match indicate he can step up his involvement when the game demands it.
