Volschenk is a high-volume contributor in both phases, combining consistent ball-carrying with a tackle count that places him among the busiest loose forwards in the data set. His per-match averages reflect a player who stays involved throughout the full 80 minutes, while his peak outputs — nearly 70 metres from 17 carries and 21 tackles in a single game — show he can elevate significantly when the occasion demands. Three tries across 18 matches add a finisher's dimension to what is otherwise a workrate-driven profile.
