Petelo-Mapu functions as a high-volume impact forward, consistently getting his hands on the ball and driving hard through contact across every match in this sample.

A single-game peak of 14 carries and 10 tackles in the same outing underlines that his influence tends to grow when the match demands the most from its eight.
