Jenkins contributes heavily on the defensive side of the game, averaging seven tackles per match across his five appearances — a workload that points to a centre relied upon to do significant defensive organising. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, averaging just under 16 metres per match, suggesting he fulfils a functional, direct role in the midfield rather than acting as a primary ball-carrier. His best individual performance — 18 tackles and 35 metres from eight carries — underlines that his ceiling involves high-volume defensive output combined with purposeful involvement in the carry.
