Across 38 matches, Aumua consistently contributes both as a ball-carrier and a defender, averaging nearly seven tackles per game alongside meaningful metres with ball in hand — a combination that signals an active, two-way presence rather than a specialist set-piece operator. His best single-game outputs of 17 tackles and 10 carries show he can step up his workload significantly when the match demands it. Seven tries across this dataset further confirm he is a genuine attacking threat from the hooker position.
