Across 16 United Rugby Championship appearances, Salanoa's output is defined first and foremost by his work without the ball — averaging over five tackles per match and topping twelve in a single outing, numbers that point to a prop heavily involved in the defensive structure. His carrying is functional rather than prolific, contributing a steady handful of contacts per game with one try to his name, suggesting his value lies in the unglamorous, high-effort work that keeps the set-piece platform intact.
