Across 26 matches, Pokomela's tackle numbers stand out as his most consistent contribution — averaging over five per game, with a single-match peak of 16, pointing to a flanker who anchors himself in the defensive line. His carrying is measured rather than dominant, but seven tries from 68 carries shows he reads the game well close to the line. The combination of defensive reliability and opportunistic finishing defines his role in the forward pack.
