Across six matches, Howe has established himself as a high-volume tackler, averaging over ten tackles per game with a single-match peak of seventeen — figures that point to a hooker heavily involved in defensive structure. His carry numbers are steady rather than explosive, suggesting a player who contributes reliably in tight phases without being asked to create with ball in hand. The consistency of his output across both championship and club-level competition underlines a dependable, industrious presence at the set-piece base.
