Across 20 appearances as a replacement, Rey has built a consistent profile as a high-volume tackler who also contributes meaningfully with ball in hand. His per-match tackle figures place defensive workrate at the centre of his game, while his carrying numbers show he is trusted to gain ground in short bursts off the bench. When he hits his ceiling — nine carries, 23 metres, 13 tackles in a single outing — he demonstrates the capacity to shape a match well beyond a typical impact role.
