Across 57 matches Licata has been a consistent engine at the base of the scrum, averaging close to eight carries and nearly nine tackles per game — a workload that speaks to a player relied upon in both phases on almost every possession. His metre-making is steady rather than explosive, but the volume is relentless, and single-game peaks of 20 carries and 20 tackles show he can absorb a full shift when the team demands it. Eight tries over that span add a finishing dimension that keeps defenders honest around the ruck.
