Coming off the bench, Saifoloi consistently gets through a solid volume of work in limited minutes, averaging nearly seven tackles per match to suggest he is a dependable defensive presence at replacement level. His carrying numbers show he is trusted to make ground when introduced, with a best outing of 10 carries for 37 metres underlining that he can have a genuine physical impact on a game.
