Tuimauga's numbers across 10 appearances paint a picture of a prop whose primary value sits on the defensive side of the ball, averaging over four tackles per match and reaching eight in his most demanding outings. He is not a high-volume carrier, but when he does engage with ball in hand he generates meaningful metres, suggesting his carries are purposeful rather than incidental. The single-match peaks of six carries and 16 metres indicate he can step up his attacking contribution when the game demands it.
