Across eight appearances as a replacement, Townsend contributes steadily in both the carrying and defensive phases, averaging just over two tackles per outing with consistent involvement in contact. His best performances show a notable step up in workload — reaching five carries and 38 metres in a single game — suggesting he can take on a greater share of the load when called upon. His minutes-to-contribution ratio points to a player who slots into the game efficiently rather than dominating it.
