Mallia is a consistent ball-carrier at full back, averaging over 30 metres per match across 40 appearances in major competitions — a volume that points to regular involvement in the attack rather than a purely defensive role. His try return and single-game peaks of 17 carries and 157 metres show he can take over a match when given opportunity. Defensively he contributes without dominating, though his 11-tackle best suggests he can step up when the workload demands it.
