William's output across 34 matches points to a lock who earns his minutes through sheer consistency in the unglamorous work — nearly ten tackles a game and a steady stream of carries make him a reliable presence at the core of the forward effort. His best individual performances, pushing past 20 tackles and double-digit carries in a single outing, show he can absorb a significant share of the physical load when required. The carrying numbers suggest a support runner rather than a line-breaker, but the tackle count is where his value to the team structure is most clearly written.
