Across 42 matches Hawkins has established himself as a high-volume defensive presence, averaging close to five tackles per outing with a single-game peak of 17 that signals he can absorb a heavy defensive workload when required. His carrying numbers are consistent rather than explosive, accumulating yardage reliably across competitions without dominating the ball. That combination of steady metres and disciplined tackling output points to a centre who earns his minutes through functional, repeatable work.
