Across 22 appearances as a replacement, Grondona's output is defined above all by his defensive work — averaging six tackles per outing and peaking at 20 in a single match, figures that point to an impact player trusted to shore up the gainline late in games. His carrying is measured rather than prolific, but he has shown the capacity to contribute meaningfully with ball in hand, recording 68 metres in his best outing. The combination of consistent defensive volume and occasional carrying burst across Champions Cup, Premiership and international rugby reflects a versatile forward who earns his minutes through reliability.
