Marta's averages of eight carries and 66 metres per match point to a wing who is heavily involved in the attacking game, not just a finisher sitting on the fringe. His six tries across seven matches underline his effectiveness when the ball reaches him, while nearly six tackles per game suggests he tracks back and contributes defensively well above what is typically expected of a wide outside back. His single-game peaks of 13 carries and 130 metres indicate he can take over a contest entirely when conditions suit.
