Walton's output across 12 Super Rugby matches points to a centre who shoulders a heavy workload on both sides of the ball, averaging over eight carries and more than eight tackles per game. His defensive numbers are particularly striking, having reached 16 tackles in a single outing, suggesting he is consistently asked to do significant work in the middle channels. The carry volume is steady rather than explosive, with his metres-per-carry figures reflecting a player who contributes through reliability and repetition rather than line-breaking impact.
