Across 51 matches Chessum has shown a consistent dual threat at lock, combining meaningful ball-carrying volume with an exceptional tackle count that points to a player who is heavily involved on both sides of the ball. His single-game peaks — 13 carries, 88 metres gained, and 17 tackles in one match — suggest he can shift into a higher gear when the occasion demands it. The try return of eight across this dataset adds a cutting edge that is uncommon for a forward operating deep in the set-piece engine room.
