Across 24 matches Leota shows up as a consistent workhorse, averaging five tackles per game with single-match peaks of 13 that highlight his capacity to take on a heavy defensive load at the breakdown. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, but the volume across nearly a thousand minutes of action points to a Number 8 who earns his metres through persistence and repeated effort. He contributes on both sides of the ball without dominating either statistic, which is the profile of a player built for sustained impact over a full match.
