Across 34 matches, Mercer consistently shoulders a heavy workload with over ten carries per game and close to 27 metres gained each outing, underlining his value as a primary ball-carrier at Number 8. His tackle numbers are equally telling — averaging 7.4 per match with a single-game peak of 17 — pointing to a player who contributes substantially on both sides of the ball. The consistency of those figures across three competitions suggests a durable, high-impact forward rather than an occasional influence.
