Withy's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging over ten per match across his Super Rugby appearances points to a player who is heavily involved in the defensive line and rarely shirks contact. His carrying game is modest in volume and gain, suggesting his primary value lies in the loose rather than as a ball-carrier, though his best single-game outputs show he can step up when required. The consistency of his defensive contribution across 13 matches underlines a reliable, high-minute impact in the back row.
