Funaki consistently contributes with ball in hand as a replacement, averaging over 17 metres per appearance from a modest carry count — a ratio that points to direct, effective running rather than volume work. His best outings show he can push that considerably higher, with 61 metres from 7 carries in a single game underlining his ability to make a real dent when given opportunity. Defensively he pulls his weight for his limited minutes, chipping in reliably at the tackle count across all nine appearances.
