Across 36 matches, Clarkson averages close to five tackles per game, a workload that points to a prop who does not step away from contact on either side of the ball. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, though peak performances of 12 carries and 37 metres in a single game show he can shoulder a significantly heavier load when the game demands it. Five tries across the dataset add a finishing dimension that is uncommon for a forward logging this kind of defensive volume.
