Across 42 matches, Palu's workload tells the story of a lock who rarely leaves the contest — consistently hitting double-digit tackles per game while maintaining a steady carrying presence through the phases. His per-match averages reflect a durable, high-volume contributor rather than a boom-or-bust performer, and his peak outputs of 16 carries and 16 tackles in a single match show he can elevate when the occasion demands. He is the kind of forward who accumulates impact quietly but relentlessly over the course of a game.
