James contributes consistently across both phases, averaging over 24 metres per match from just over five carries — a return that points to efficient, hard-running line breaks rather than volume-based involvement. His tackle count holds steady across competitions, and his single-game peaks of nine carries, 56 metres and six tackles suggest he can step up his workload when the game demands it. Five tries across ten appearances adds a genuine finishing threat to his centre profile.
