Atalifo's tackle numbers are the defining feature of his game, averaging close to four per match across his appearances and peaking at nine in a single outing — a workload that points to a prop heavily involved in defensive structure. His carrying is measured rather than prolific, used selectively rather than as a primary ball-carrying weapon. The combination of consistent minutes and steady defensive output underlines his value as a reliable presence in the tight exchanges.
