Schmid contributes consistently across competitions, averaging just under seven carries and six tackles per match — figures that point to a steady, involved Number 8 rather than a boom-or-bust performer. His best outings show he can push well beyond those averages, reaching double figures in both carries and tackles in a single game. That combination of reliable volume and the capacity to step up his output makes him a dependable presence at the base of the scrum.
