Bennett's numbers paint a picture of a dependable outside centre who contributes consistently rather than in bursts, averaging around five carries and just under 28 metres per match across a substantial 48-game sample. His tackle count is a genuine asset for a midfielder, and peak performances of 14 carries, 125 metres, and 12 tackles in a single game demonstrate he can shoulder a heavy workload when required. With nine tries from 48 appearances, he adds a threat beyond the gain line without being primarily a finisher.
