Across 25 matches Ma'afu consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in the defensive line, averaging close to eight carries and nearly six tackles per appearance as a replacement. His carrying numbers suggest a physical presence focused on hard metres rather than line-breaks, while his tackle output points to a player who is heavily involved in defence despite his reduced minutes. Peak performances of 19 carries and 12 tackles in a single game indicate he can shoulder a genuine workload when called upon.
