Across 24 matches, Opoku-Fordjour stands out for his consistency at the coalface — his tackle numbers are notably high for a prop, averaging over seven per game with a single-match peak of 17, underlining a defensive work rate that goes well beyond the set piece. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, providing reliable metres-after-contact as part of a structured forward unit.
