Jibulu's tackle numbers stand out as his defining trait — averaging over nine per match across 18 appearances points to a hooker who consistently puts himself in the thick of defensive work. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliable metres through contact without being the primary ball-carrier. The peak of 27 tackles and 60 metres in a single game illustrates that when the contest demands more, he can deliver across both sides of the ball.
