Across 60 matches Davies averages just under ten tackles per game, a rate that points to a lock heavily involved in defensive structure rather than one used sparingly at the breakdown. His carrying numbers are modest but consistent, suggesting a player trusted to make hard, direct metres in tight channels rather than operate as an expansive ball-carrier. Single-game peaks of 29 tackles and 13 carries indicate he is capable of stepping up his workload significantly when a match demands it.
