Across 24 appearances as a replacement, Falatea has built a consistent profile as a high-volume tackler, averaging over three tackles per outing and reaching eight in a single game — a figure that speaks to genuine defensive engagement when introduced. His carrying numbers are measured rather than dominant, yet his best games show he can exceed double his average yardage, suggesting he elevates in the right contexts. The two tries across this pool add a finishing dimension that rounds out his utility as a bench option.
