Across 52 matches Tompkins stands out for his consistency in the defensive channel, averaging close to six tackles per game with a single-match peak of 15 — numbers that point to a centre who shoulders real defensive responsibility week after week. His carrying contributes steadily rather than explosively, averaging just over 13 metres per appearance, though his best outings show he is capable of significantly higher output when the game demands it. Nine tries across the dataset add a finishing dimension to a profile that is otherwise defined by the unglamorous, high-volume work that holds a team structure together.
