Salawa is a high-volume contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging nearly nine tackles and seven-and-a-half carries per match across 26 appearances — figures that point to a flanker who rarely leaves the contest. His defensive output is his most defining trait, with a single-game peak of 20 tackles underlining his capacity to shoulder a heavy workload when required. With close to 600 metres gained from his carries, he consistently makes ground rather than simply recycling possession.
