Across 49 appearances Chessum combines consistent ball-carrying volume with an exceptional tackle output, averaging over six tackles per match and reaching 17 in a single game — figures that point to a lock who drives hard work at the breakdown and holds his own defensively. His seven tries from a forward platform underline that his carrying threat is not merely about metres gained but genuine line-breaking intent. The peaks in his data — 13 carries and 88 metres in one outing — suggest he is capable of stepping up his influence markedly in high-stakes contests.
