Across 31 matches Hatton combines consistent carrying volume with an imposing tackle count, averaging nearly seven tackles per game alongside close to six carries — a workload that points to a Number 8 who shoulders responsibility on both sides of the ball. His best individual performances, reaching 17 carries and 17 tackles in a single match, demonstrate the ceiling of his engine when the game demands it. That reliability across multiple competitions makes him a dependable presence at the back of the scrum.
