Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive cornerstone

Across 39 matches, Lakai averages over 10 carries and 10 tackles per game, pointing to a Number 8 who shoulders a heavy dual workload on both sides of the ball. His carrying consistently produces meaningful metres, with single-game peaks of 20 carries and 88 metres indicating he can elevate his output significantly when the match demands it. Seven tries across the dataset add a finishing dimension to what is, at its core, a high-volume, high-intensity game.
