Leiua's match data paints a picture of a centre who consistently contributes on both sides of the ball, averaging over 66 metres per carry outing while also putting in meaningful defensive shifts. His best single-game figures — 172 metres and 8 tackles — suggest he can be genuinely dominant when conditions allow. The two tries across four matches, combined with a Player of the Match award, point to a midfielder who delivers in key moments rather than simply going through the motions.
