McDowall's numbers paint the picture of a centre who carries the ball relentlessly and puts in the defensive shifts to match — his per-match averages across 93 appearances show consistent two-way output rather than occasional brilliance. The volume of his carrying, deep into the thousands of metres, points to a player heavily involved in the phases, while 18 tries across that workload confirms he finds his way over the line with enough regularity to pose a genuine attacking threat. His peak single-game marks — over a hundred metres gained and double-digit tackles in the same match — indicate he is capable of lifting well above his considerable baseline when the occasion demands.
