Across 45 matches Mann has established himself as a high-volume defender, averaging nearly 12 tackles per game with a single-match peak of 32 — figures that point to a flanker who takes on significant defensive responsibility week in, week out. His carrying numbers tell a complementary story: consistent rather than explosive, he makes himself available with regularity and has found the tryline nine times, underlining his effectiveness close to the gain line. The combination of sustained tackle output and reliable ball-carrying across multiple competitions marks him as a durable and industrious operator in the back row.
