Tuipulotu's numbers across 38 matches paint a picture of a lock who carries consistently and defends at a high volume, averaging nearly eight tackles per game with single-match peaks of 22 — a figure that points to genuine defensive intensity. His carrying work is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliable metres through the middle of the park game after game. Six tries across this dataset further suggest he is not purely a workhorse, finding himself in scoring positions often enough to add a threat beyond the breakdown.
