Broughton's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging over eleven per match and peaking at twenty in a single outing, he carries a significant defensive burden at the base of the scrum. His carrying contributes solidly rather than explosively, bringing consistent metres across nine appearances without relying on try-scoring to justify his minutes. The combination of high tackle volume and reliable ball-carrying suggests a player used heavily in the physical exchanges of each game.
