Leiua consistently contributes with ball in hand, averaging over 41 metres per outing from just five carries — a return that points to a centre who breaks through contact rather than going around it. His single-game peak of 172 metres from 11 carries underlines that explosiveness on his best days. Defensively he is equally reliable, averaging nearly five tackles per match across his seven appearances.
