Timani's numbers across 22 URC appearances paint the picture of a lock who thrives on volume — consistently getting through carries and tackles at a rate that suggests he is central to Cardiff's forward engine. His tackling output is particularly striking, with a peak of 20 in a single match pointing to a player who can shoulder a heavy defensive burden when required. The balance between his carrying and tackling work indicates a versatile forward presence rather than a specialist in either phase alone.
