Tuifua's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging nearly seven per game as a replacement points to a player deployed with defensive intent, consistently asked to do the hard work when he comes on. His carry load is modest but purposeful, averaging just over four per outing with enough metres to suggest he moves forward when called upon rather than being stopped at the gain line. His best games show he can combine double-digit tackles with a full carry quota, underlining his value as a high-impact, defence-first option in the closing stages.
