Across 65 matches, Penaud averages just under four tackles per game, reflecting the wing's traditional defensive role, but it is his attacking output that defines his profile — nearly 2900 metres from 364 carries speaks to a player who consistently gains ground rather than simply receiving and offloading. His try-scoring rate of 47 in 65 appearances confirms he is a consistent and reliable finisher, while peak performances of 179 metres and 15 carries in a single match indicate he can take over a game entirely when given space and ball.
