Across 35 matches, Salakaia-Loto consistently operates as a high-volume workhorse, averaging nearly seven tackles and over five carries per game — figures that point to a lock who pulls serious weight on both sides of the ball. His defensive output is particularly striking, with a single-game peak of 17 tackles underlining his capacity to dominate in that area when required. Three tries from a lock's workload adds a further dimension, suggesting he is not simply a grunt forward but one who reads the game well enough to finish.
