Across 30 matches, Owens's tackle numbers stand out as the defining feature of his game, averaging nearly five per match and reaching 18 in a single outing — a workload that signals a hooker heavily trusted in defensive structures. His carrying is measured rather than explosive, typically contributing around three carries and a modest gain per game, though he has shown the capacity to take on a much greater ball-carrying burden when required. The overall picture is of a consistently available, defence-first forward who accumulates his impact through reliability rather than standout attacking moments.
