Across 26 appearances as a replacement, Mostert's tackle numbers stand out sharply — averaging close to five per game and peaking at 18 in a single outing, which points to a player deployed with defensive disruption clearly in mind. His carrying workload is modest by design, with averages under two carries and two metres per match, yet a single-game high of 9 carries shows he can take on a more physical ball-carrying role when the situation demands it. The overall picture is of a specialist impact forward who earns his minutes primarily through his work off the ball.
