Across 18 matches in three competitions, Mathias has built a profile defined by consistency in the tight — averaging over seven tackles per game and contributing reliably with ball in hand on every carry. His workload seldom dips, and his peak outputs of 17 tackles and 16 carries in a single match point to a prop who can absorb pressure at both ends of the game. The numbers reflect a player whose value is measured in metres ground out and defensive shifts completed rather than try-line moments.
