Across seven appearances as a replacement, Lawday's tackle count stands out as his primary contribution, averaging over four per game with a single-match peak of 13 — a figure that points to an impact carrier who arrives on the field ready to compete at the breakdown and in open defence. His carry numbers are modest by design, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities that typically come with bench minutes, though his 12-metre best shows he can make ground when called upon.
