Withy's match data across Super Rugby paints the picture of a workmanlike flanker built around defensive output, averaging over twelve tackles per game and peaking at twenty-eight in a single outing — a figure that speaks to genuine pressure-game reliability. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, consistently contributing around five carries and thirteen metres per match, suggesting a role focused on maintaining momentum rather than breaking the line. Together, these patterns define a high-minute, high-tackle flanker whose value lies in the grunt work that holds a team's shape.
