Across 36 matches Leota has established himself as a high-volume tackler, averaging over six per game with a single-match peak of 16 — numbers that point to a flanker who anchors defensive structures. He contributes reliably with ball in hand without dominating possession, suggesting a role built around workrate and consistency rather than explosive individual impact. His 1,772 minutes of game time underlines the durability that underpins those contributions.
