Makisi operates as a high-impact Number 8 who consistently contributes both with and without the ball, averaging over 34 metres per game from just over five carries — efficiency that points to a player who makes his touches count. His tackle numbers are equally solid, and his best performance — nine carries for 64 metres alongside eight tackles — shows he can dominate in both phases when the occasion demands. Across three international appearances, he has demonstrated the rounded skillset expected of a modern back-row forward.
