Across 53 matches Jenkins averages over 12 tackles per game, a figure that underlines his identity as a defensive workhorse at the heart of the forward pack. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, yet peaks of 14 carries and 54 metres in a single outing show he can impose himself with ball in hand when required. With more than 3 100 minutes logged across five competitions, he is a consistent, high-volume presence in the tight exchanges.
