Across 15 appearances, Alongi's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work — averaging over five tackles per match and topping out at 14 in a single game, figures that point to a prop relied upon heavily to clean up around the fringes and contest at the breakdown. His carrying is limited in volume and gain, which is consistent with a tighthead used primarily for set-piece stability and defensive grunt rather than as a ball-carrying threat. When the numbers are taken together, they sketch a player whose value to his side is built on reliability without the ball rather than impact with it.
