Across 47 matches Venter has built a profile defined by consistent, physical involvement on both sides of the ball, averaging close to five carries and four and a half tackles per game. His single-match peaks of 17 carries and 16 tackles show he can shoulder a significantly heavier workload when required, suggesting he is a centre who thrives in high-contact, attritional contests. His carry volume across more than 2500 minutes points to a player used regularly as a ball-runner in structured play rather than a wide threat.
