Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Consistent carrier with defensive bite

Across 33 appearances, Jennings has built a profile defined by steady, reliable work rather than explosive headline moments — averaging six carries and just over 33 metres per match while accumulating over 1 100 metres in total. His tackle count of 158 across those games reflects a wing willing to put in defensive shifts, and peaks of 18 carries and 12 tackles in a single outing show he can step up his output when the game demands it. Five tries across the dataset round out the picture of a player who contributes consistently across all phases.
