Across 31 appearances as a replacement, Meliande consistently contributes in both phases, bringing steady carries and reliable defensive work each time he takes the field. His per-game averages reflect a measured, disciplined role rather than a high-volume one, though his best outings — touching eight carries and 91 metres in a single match — show he can step up meaningfully when given extended minutes. The tackle numbers suggest he pulls his weight defensively without being a primary defender, rounding out a profile built on consistency and controlled impact.
