Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Powerful impact carrier, reliable tackler

Across 36 matches as a replacement, Tameifuna consistently contributes both with and without the ball, averaging over four carries and four tackles per outing. His nine tries from 153 carries demonstrate a genuine threat around the fringes, while his tackle numbers show he pulls his defensive weight despite limited minutes. On his best days he reaches double figures in both carries and tackles, underlining the disruptive ceiling he brings off the bench.
