Across 49 matches Halafihi demonstrates the workload profile of a high-impact Number 8, averaging nearly eight tackles and over six carries per game with consistent metres gained. His defensive output is particularly striking, with a single-match peak of 23 tackles pointing to the kind of big defensive shifts that define him in tight contests. The balance between his carrying and tackling numbers suggests a player trusted to do the unglamorous work on both sides of the ball.
