Across 17 matches and over 400 minutes of action, Latu shows up as a consistent contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging close to five tackles per game with a single-match peak of 12. His carrying numbers are modest but steady for a tighthead, reflecting the hard-yards, set-piece-support role typical of a prop who prioritises defensive workrate. The fact that his best games see him combine eight carries with double-digit tackles suggests he can step up his all-round output when the moment demands it.
