Maximin's numbers across 27 matches paint the picture of a lock who earns his minutes through consistent, physical work rather than explosive bursts — his tackle counts are a particular standout, with a peak of 23 in a single game underlining his capacity to anchor a defensive line. He also contributes reliably with ball in hand, chipping in with six tries alongside his steady carrying load. It is the combination of defensive volume and on-the-ground consistency that defines his profile at this level.
