Coming off the bench, Mbandà consistently contributes with his carrying and defensive work, averaging just under six and a half metres per appearance and posting at least one and a half tackles per game. His best single outings show genuine upside — seven carries for 46 metres and six tackles in one match signal what he can produce when given extended minutes. The numbers paint a picture of a dependable impact replacement who brings physicality at both ends of the field.
