Across 73 matches Basham sustains an exceptional workload on both sides of the ball, averaging over eight tackles and more than seven carries per game. His defensive output is particularly striking, with a single-game high of 19 tackles underlining his capacity to shoulder enormous contact duties when required. The volume of metres accumulated through carrying confirms he is a consistent gainline threat, not merely a support runner.
