Across 18 appearances Wilkins has been a reliable workhorse at lock, contributing steadily with the ball in hand and showing a particularly strong defensive output that averages nearly seven tackles per game. His carrying numbers reflect a functional, forward-focused role rather than a line-breaking one, though peaks of 14 carries and 13 tackles in a single match demonstrate he can shoulder a much heavier load when required. He has also chipped in with two tries, underlining that he remains a threat at close range when the opportunity presents itself.
