Across 13 matches Faiva stands out primarily as a defensive presence, averaging over four tackles per game with a single-match peak of 15 that signals he can shoulder a heavy workload when required. His carrying numbers are modest in volume but consistent, suggesting a hooker who contributes reliably in tight phases rather than seeking headline metres. That combination of steady ball-carrying and high tackle output points to a player built around core forward duties across multiple competitions.
