Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless Defensive Anchor Off the Bench

Across 37 appearances as a replacement, Ta'avao has built a profile defined above all by his defensive output — averaging 7.3 tackles per match, with a single-game peak of 16, across a combined 1,508 minutes of action. His carry numbers are modest in volume but consistent, suggesting a player used to stabilise rather than ignite, doing the hard yards when introduced. Five tries over this sample indicate he remains a genuine threat around the fringes when the opportunity presents itself.
