Across 24 matches Lanen has been a consistent presence in the carry and collision game, averaging over eight tackles and nearly six carries per outing — numbers that point to a lock who does the unglamorous work reliably across 80 minutes. His peak performances, including 18 tackles and 17 carries in a single match, show he can step up his output considerably when the contest demands it. The volume of minutes logged alongside those per-game figures suggest a player his side trusts to stay on the field and stay involved.
