Talataina consistently contributes as a ball-carrying forward and a committed defender, averaging close to six tackles per appearance across his Super Rugby outings. His carry numbers are steady rather than explosive, though his best individual performances show he is capable of significantly lifting his workload when called upon. Coming off the bench, he brings immediate physicality on both sides of the ball.
