Across 20 matches Haining has established himself as a high-volume ball-carrier, consistently getting through work with the ball in hand and picking up meaningful metres per game. His tackle numbers are steady rather than prolific, suggesting his primary value lies in maintaining momentum through the carry rather than leading the defensive line. His peak outputs — 22 carries and 13 tackles in a single match — demonstrate the capacity to step up his involvement significantly when the occasion demands.
