Across 18 matches, Lakai has established himself as a high-volume workhorse at the base of the scrum, averaging over ten carries and nearly ten tackles per game. His ability to consistently chew up ground while shouldering a heavy defensive load speaks to a player who shapes both phases of play, not just one. His peak outputs — 20 carries and 18 tackles in a single match — show he can lift well above his already demanding baseline when required.
