Across 16 appearances as a replacement, Qoma consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in defence, averaging over seven tackles and more than five carries per outing. His peak games — including 20 tackles and 14 carries in a single match — show he can shoulder a significantly heavier load when required. That combination of reliable defensive output and consistent metres gained makes him a purposeful impact presence off the bench.
