Across 31 matches Westwood has shown consistent involvement in both phases of the game, averaging four carries and close to four tackles per outing as a reliable centre presence. His peak performances — reaching 15 carries and 88 metres in a single match — demonstrate the capacity to shoulder a significantly heavier workload when the game demands it. The balance between his carrying and tackling numbers points to a centre who contributes meaningfully on both sides of the ball rather than specialising in one.
