Across 23 matches, Matongo's tackle count stands out as his defining contribution — averaging 4.6 per game with a single-match peak of 11, he brings consistent defensive pressure rare for a prop. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful, reflecting a role built around hard yards close to the ruck rather than explosive ball-in-hand play. The breadth of competition he has featured in underlines his reliability as a front-row option across multiple formats.
