Across 22 appearances in three competitions, Ganyane's output is defined above all by his tackling — averaging 4.4 per match and peaking at 12 in a single game, he consistently contributes at the breakdown end of the prop's defensive duties. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a role built around structure and set-piece rather than ball-in-hand ambition, though he has shown he can be trusted to hold the ball up when called upon. The combination of nearly 900 minutes logged and that defensive consistency points to a prop who earns his time through reliability and physical commitment.
