Across 25 matches Latu contributes consistently as a ball-carrying forward, averaging over six carries per game and reaching as many as 14 in a single outing, which points to a hooker used heavily in the loose. His tackle numbers tell a similar story — reliable rather than exceptional on a per-game basis, yet his single-game peak of 10 tackles shows he can shoulder a serious defensive workload when required. Four tries across the sample add a finishing dimension that rounds out his profile as an all-round contributor at the set-piece position.
