Across 25 matches, Aumua consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in the defensive line, averaging over five tackles per game with a single-match peak of 14 — figures that point to a hooker who does not shy away from contact-heavy exchanges. His carrying numbers tell a similar story: reliable rather than explosive on average, yet capable of stepping up to 10 carries and 61 metres in a single outing when the game demands it. The combination of consistent tackle output and that ceiling in his carrying game suggests a forward who scales his workload to the occasion.
