Across 16 matches, Halfpenny consistently contributes with ball in hand, averaging just over 12 metres per carry — a return that points to purposeful rather than speculative running lines. His carrying load is modest on a per-game basis, reflecting the controlled, positional nature of a full back's role, yet his best single-game output of 15 carries for 99 metres demonstrates a clear capacity to step up when the game demands more from him. Defensively he is present without being heavily tested, with his tackle numbers suggesting he is well-positioned rather than frequently exposed.
