Across 38 matches Lakai functions as a high-volume ball-carrier and defensive workhorse, averaging over ten carries and ten tackles per game — a combination that signals a Number 8 equally trusted in both phases. His single-game peaks of 20 carries and 19 tackles indicate he can absorb a dominant share of the workload when the team requires it. Seven tries from nearly 400 carries reflects a threat at the line rather than a finisher who operates on the periphery.
