Across 14 appearances as a replacement, Chawatama's output is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive work, averaging over four tackles per match and reaching double figures in his best outings. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities typical of a front-row finisher, but his consistency in the contact area signals a clear specialist role. The tackle volume he generates in comparatively short bursts of minutes points to a player who hits the ground running defensively whenever introduced.
