Across 20 matches Jones's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive workload, averaging four and a half tackles per game and reaching 25 in a single outing — figures that point to a lock used primarily to win collisions rather than shift the ball. His carrying numbers are modest by design, with under two carries a match and just over a metre gained each time, suggesting his primary value is set-piece and defensive structure. The standout single-game tackle tally underlines that his ceiling in that department is considerably higher than his average implies.
