Across 31 matches, Atonio's tackle numbers stand out as his most reliable contribution, averaging close to two per game with a single-game peak of nine — a figure that points to genuine defensive involvement for a prop. His carrying is measured rather than prominent, reflecting a role built around set-piece and defensive work rather than ball-in-hand impact. The occasional spike of seven carries and eleven metres in a single outing shows he can contribute with ball when called upon, but those moments are the exception rather than the pattern.
