Across 18 matches, Jansen has been one of the more demanding number 8s in terms of workload, averaging over 12 carries and 12 tackles per game — a balance that points to a player central to both his team's attacking structure and defensive effort. His carrying consistently gains meaningful ground, and his peak outputs of 25 carries and 23 tackles in a single match indicate he can absorb an even heavier load when the occasion demands. Ten tries from that volume of involvement further underlines his threat around the fringes and at close quarters.
