Across 77 matches Treadwell's tackle count stands as the defining feature of his game, averaging 6.7 per outing with a single-match peak of 19 — figures that point to a lock who carries enormous defensive responsibility in every contest. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, consistently contributing to the gainline without dominating ball-in-hand statistics, which reflects the unglamorous but essential workload of a modern set-piece forward. The combination of over 4 100 minutes played and six tries suggests a player trusted to stay on the field and do the hard work rather than one rotated for impact alone.
