Siyaya's numbers paint a picture of a full back heavily involved in his team's attacking structure, averaging close to nine carries per game and consistently eating up significant ground with the ball in hand. His best individual performance — 15 carries, 149 metres and six tackles — signals the ceiling of a player who can dominate when given the platform. Defensively his tackle count is modest on average, suggesting his primary contribution is offensive, though he has shown the capacity to step up in that area when required.
