Across 20 appearances as a replacement, Qoma consistently makes his presence felt on both sides of the ball, averaging over eight tackles per game alongside more than five carries — numbers that point to a player who is immediately impactful off the bench. His tackle count is the standout trait, with a single-game peak of 20 suggesting he can take on a dominant defensive shift when called upon. He adds reliable go-forward too, and his one Player of the Match award confirms he has the ability to shape a game decisively within his limited minutes.
