Venter's workload across 16 matches paints a picture of a high-usage ball-carrier who also pulls consistent weight in defence, averaging close to seven tackles per game alongside a double-figure carry count. His per-match yardage and a single-game peak of 87 metres demonstrate the ability to make meaningful ground when given opportunity. The combination of that carrying volume and a tackle tally nudging 110 over the sample marks him as a flanker who contributes at both ends of the contest.
