[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 743047, member: 38640"] Vito is hardly not mobile - he's been criticized continually for his lack of a tight game, now the former 7's winger is too slow? Looked pretty quick to me in every game I have seen him in, has upped his tight game considerably. But let's compare him to Messam based on Super Rugby: [B] Tackles per 80 minutes on field: [/B][I]Messam:[/I] 9.0 Vito: 8.2 [B]Tackle success:[/B] [I]Vito[/I]: 92.3% Messam: 87.1% [B]Turnovers [I]conceded [/I]per 80 minutes:[/B] [I]Messam[/I]: 1.88 Vito: 1.20 [B] Carries per 80 mintutes: [/B]Vito: 11.83 Messam: 8.17 [B]Metres per carry per 80 minutes: [/B]Vito: 42.23m Messam: 30.01 Over 80 minutes Larksea it would seem to me that Vito would be the more mobile of the 2 players. The only areas which Messam has a real lead over Vito, is number of passes (not including offloads) and number of open field kicks. It would seem Vito is constantly more accurate in what he has does over this season. His workrate looks statistically better than Messams. I cannot recall a big game in which he has only made 2 tackles? Either way saying he isn't as mobile as our locks is a bit absurd. [/QUOTE]
