Across 21 matches Hewat has built a reputation as a reliable defensive presence, averaging over seven tackles per game and reaching 15 in a single outing — figures that point to a high-volume, high-consistency work rate at the breakdown and in the defensive line. His carrying game is measured rather than dominant, contributing steadily around four carries and 16 metres per match, with a best of 39 metres in a game suggesting he can shift gears when the opportunity arises. Together, the numbers paint a picture of a flanker who earns his minutes through diligence across both phases rather than isolated moments of brilliance.
