His carrying numbers reflect a lock used in short, direct bursts rather than as a primary ball-carrier, though his single-game peaks of 12 carries and 17 tackles show he can lift his workload significantly when required. The volume of minutes logged underlines just how regularly he has been called upon at this level.
