Across 61 matches Mendy combines consistent ball-carrying volume with genuine try-scoring threat, averaging just over 50 metres per game and crossing 26 times — a ratio that underlines his effectiveness when he gets the ball in space. His tackle numbers are equally telling for a wing, averaging close to five per match with a single-game peak of 12, suggesting he is asked to contribute meaningfully in defence rather than simply occupy an attacking edge. The ceiling shown in his best outings — 15 carries and 201 metres in a single match — points to a player capable of dominating games when given the opportunity.
