Across 80 matches, Aki's near-eight carries and 24 metres per game paint the picture of a centre who consistently puts his hand up to shift the gain line, match after match. His tackle count is equally telling — averaging five and a half per game over more than 4 000 minutes, he is not a player who disappears when his side does not have the ball. The single-game peaks of 21 carries, 190 metres and 14 tackles suggest he is capable of stepping up his output significantly when a match demands it.
