Across 13 matches, Alongi's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging over four tackles per game and reaching 14 in a single outing — numbers that point to a prop trusted to do the hard yards when the opposition carries into his channel. His carrying role is deliberately limited, with just over one carry per game, reinforcing that his primary value lies in stopping ball-carriers rather than initiating attack. That defensive consistency across two demanding competitions makes him a reliable, low-profile enforcer up front.
