Across 22 matches Popelin shows a consistent willingness to put himself into contact, averaging five carries per game and nearly 28 metres with ball in hand — numbers that point to an active, running presence at ten rather than a pure distributor. His best outings push well beyond those averages, with single-game peaks of 12 carries and 72 metres suggesting he can take the game on when the opportunity is there. He contributes modestly in defence, but his value in these matches is clearly built around what he does with the ball.
