Across 68 matches Penaud's try return stands out immediately, but the volume of metres he generates per game shows he is far more than a pure finisher — he is a consistent ball-carrier who puts defences under sustained pressure. His tackle numbers are modest by position, which is consistent with a winger deployed primarily as an attacking weapon rather than a defensive anchor. The occasional spikes in his single-game highs across carries, metres, and tackles suggest he can shift into a far more complete role when the game demands it.
